I interviewed at Jane Street (New York, NY) in Oct 2024
Interview
I didn't get past the take-home test. I asked why I didn't get past and they wouldn't tell me. I could've maybe tried to do a python script to wow them but I heard of someone doing that and still failing to get the job. Though I will say that my excel wasn't the prettiest.

A document to assess haircuts. This was an excel takehome test.
Started with a test, then phone call with HR. Technical round and in person interview after . Interviews were interesting , though some questions didn’t seem related to the role. Process was quite long but HR person was great and she gave quick updates.
