Interviews can be stressful, especially if you don’t know what to expect. To help you feel informed and comfortable, we’ve developed an overview of our interview process.

Our interview process consists of phone interviews at the start, and then the option of either video conferencing interviews or inperson interviews for the final stage. All of your interviews will be conducted by quantitative traders asking questions that test a variety of foundational skills that are important for being a successful trader at Jane Street. However, the interview will feel a lot more like a conversation than a quiz and won’t require previous knowledge of finance or involve any complicated math, such as what you might learn in a higherlevel math course in college.

Successful candidates are curious, organized, and openminded. They approach interview questions thoughtfully and collaboratively. Most are comfortable working with numbers and logic. Maybe most importantly, the candidates we ultimately hire are humble, pleasant to work with, and open to feedback.

A few other tips:
Approach the problem methodically.
Communicate clearly.
Correct your mistakes.
Ask why.
