I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Jane Street (Singapore) in Apr 2025
Interview
hard, usual quant trading style but much harder questions.
very strict resume screen which not many people passed, then 4 interviews to my knowledge. make sure you are well prepared do some greenbook, do some quant guide ect

Creative questions you wont find on quant guide, combinatorics will be helpful but they talyor the questions to your skill set
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

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
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
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.
they spend a lot of time trying to understand your thought process. the interview question use simple scenarios and build from them to more complex ones to understand how you handle adversity
