I submitted my resume online on their website. After talking to them at the career fair, I dropped my resume again and got an email in a few days about scheduling an interview. Interview process was about thirty minutes for the first round. Consisted of simple mental math, combinatorics, and probability. Be wary that this question was for the next following interview I did not pass.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
You begin with $100. You flip a fair coin. Heads, you get 1$. Tails, your money gets inversed (i.e. first tails, your money is now 1/100). What is the expected value after 7 flips?
(hint: recursion)
I had a phone screening call from a recruiter, they asked some standard probability questions, bayes rule, and expected value about dices. Overall experience was pretty good. Make sure you prepare your probability

Question 1
Expected value, if throwing a dice, 2 dices and 3 dices with option to reroll.
I applied online. I interviewed at Jane Street in Nov 2022
Interview
Very smooth. Around 30mins first round 1hr for the second round. First round consisted of easier probability based questions. Second round was similar but harder and longer questions. The interview process if approached in a calm composed manner should be easier to analyse
multiple phone interviews and a full-day Zoom interview. Interviews got longer and longer over time, but every person was very kind and helpful with hints when I got stuck. The questions get harder as the rounds progress and generally don't have a closed form answer in the later rounds
