Online test, two phone interviews and then final round. Online test was mostly about conditional probability, phone rounds also had game theory and final had both. Final round is super cool and generally the whole process is nice and smooth.
Interview Questions

It was a five round interview process which focused mostly on computational ability and concepts in probability. The interviewers cared about the thought process of arriving at the solution more than the solution itself

Average Interview
Application
InterviewI applied online. I interviewed at Jane Street (London, England) in May 2022
Did technical interviews. The interviews are ~30 mins and consist of standard logic/maths questions that get progressively harder. To prepare, I suggest reading the Jane Street Interview Guide on their website, solve problems from them on glassdoor and sharpen your mental arithmetic and basic probability maths skills.
Interview Questions
- Q1: What is the smallest number whose digits multiply into 216. What about 10,000? Q2: Calculate the probability of getting 3 heads after 4 coin flips. What is the probability of getting an odd number of heads for 4 flips? What about for 9? What about for N flips? Q3: What is the next date whose digits are all unique? Q4: Getting heads-tails-heads and heads-heads-tails are equiprobable after 3 coin flips. But if I keep flipping a coin, I'm more likely to get one of these combinations than the other. Why is that?
