Candidatei-me online. O processo levou 2 meses. Fui entrevistado pela Jane Street (New York, NY) em nov. de 2012
Entrevista
I got through four phone interviews before I was taken out of the running. One thing that was annoying was that interviewers would constantly cancel on me, but HR was very good about rescheduling them. Interviews consist of a TON of mental math and brain teaser questions. You really have to be on top of your game for every interview.

Pergunta 1
We are playing a game where we start at 0 and flip a coin until someone wins. Every heads that is flipped adds +1 to the number and every tails add -1. If the number reaches -10 I (the interviewer) wins and if it reaches 20 then you win. What is the probability I will win?
I am thinking of a 10 digit number. The first digit is the number of 0s in the number, the 2nd is the number of 1s etc...What is the number?

Overall, it was a pleasant interview experience. I answered a few personal questions and encountered one that was slightly confusing, but the interviewer was friendly, and the conversation flowed well overall
Probability questions, nothing crazy but quite open ended, they want to know your thought process and calculations. Pen and paper allowed but no calculator. No OA, a few rounds and got rejected. Zoom call with a trader.
