Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. La procedura ha richiesto 2 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Jane Street (Oxford, Inghilterra) nel mese di apr 2021
Colloquio
The interviewers were very laid back and the overall atmosphere was very relaxed. The focus was mainly on stats and probability problems, with a focus on game theory. Questions got progressively more difficult, and by the 3rd interview we only had time to go through a long question.

Domanda 1
Design an algorithm for when to replace a car at a car rental company
Was asked a general mathematical problem solving question - no personal details or anything else was discussed, was overall relatively easy and I imagine a fair amount of support would be offered if struggling.
