Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Jane Street (Londra, Inghilterra)
Colloquio
Two fairly standard online rounds, quick small talk for the first 3 minutes then into some rather original game/probability questions. Being stuck was expected as the interviewers seemed very prepared to give me guidance at key points. Final round on site was perhaps a bit more "hands on", with longer interviews requiring one to take more initiative. Did 4 of those in total, no offer in the end
Went through 3 rounds of interview, all of which were focused on math. they started with basic questions and built up to harder ones. Also some behavioral questioins at the start of each round
Applied online and passed the resume screen, got invited to a first round, didn't pass, was my first time interviewing for quant and nerves made me answer not quite at the best of my ability

In a game you are given a distribution of marbles, how to figure out the maximum payoff without knowing the colors

I was qualified for the first round of the interview proccess. I was asked about the reasons why i want to become a Quant and why i applied in Jane street for this role. After I was asked two probability questions. The interviewer was ok but at some moments I wasn't sure if she was following my thoughts

Mainly I failied since I tried to give them a strict answer to one of the problems(which was impossible to calculate in this time) and the wanted to hear some intuitive approach which leads to approximately correct answer.
