Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite l'università. La procedura ha richiesto 7 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Jane Street (Pittsburgh, PA) nel mese di nov 2016
Colloquio
Placed in stand-by interview. Waited a month, and got a phone call for an hour.
Nothing better to add to the pants of the process, but you had to code quickly and fast.
Be able to be good at what you're good at, and be confident.
Know Python, Java, how to recurse, how to talk to yourself and the most important thing is to be able to write safe and sound code. It doesn't matter if you finish quickly if it's buggy, because it's going to catch his attention and f you up even more later on when he actually picks it out and asks you to fix it.

Domanda 1
Given a board with directions to follow in every block, how would you tell if you can ever reach point "x" or not.
It was a very quick and painless process. Recruiter very responsive, kind interviewers. High implementation and difficult problems, so failed onsite after 3 interviews and a Question and Answer Session.

Colloquio
Did not pass the initial coding round. I tried to explain my thought in details to the interviewer but failed to translate my thought into code. So far interviewer is very nice.

Colloquio
My experience interviewing at Jane Street was definitely challenging, but also surprisingly collaborative. Instead of focusing only on whether I could get the right answer quickly, the interviewers were much more interested in how I approached problems and explained my thinking. I worked through a few coding questions involving data structures and algorithms, and there were also some probability-style questions that tested logical reasoning. The interviewers were clearly very sharp, but they were also approachable and encouraged me to talk through my thought process the entire time. When I got stuck, they would sometimes guide me with small hints so we could keep exploring the problem together. Overall, it felt less like a typical high-pressure interview and more like a thoughtful technical conversation with experienced engineers.
