I applied online, then I did phone interview questions about probability and statistics. The interviewer was a quant trader hiring his new colleague which was a nice touch. Seemed good but I wasn't prepared.

Question 1
If we know it will rain on sunday, is it more likely it will rain on saturday
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Jane Street (New York, NY) in Sep 2024
Interview
Hacker rank, then a 30 min phone call with a trader. He asked probability questions, on the harder side but not impossible. Unfortunately I did make it past this round.
Interview process was smooth. Interviewers were nice but questions were reasonably difficult. A background in combinatorics and probability would definitely help. Prepare before the interview and good luck. Over all experience was great.
