J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 1 semaine. J'ai passé un entretien chez Jane Street (Cambridge, South West England, England) en nov. 2017
Entretien
The interview process so far was standard. Jane Street stands out as a company that does not impose a fixed application deadline. I was required to upload a personal statement and a CV. References are not required.
The second stage of the interview process was an automated online interview conducted via HackerRank.

Question 1
You are given a ten sided die (values 1-10) and you are allowed to roll it either once or twice. After the first dice roll you note the score and have to make a decision whether you want to try a second roll or not. In case you decided to roll a second time you add the values from both dices to get your final score. If your score is less than or equal to 13 you will receive the equivalent amount in pounds as a payout. However if your score exceeds 13 you won't receive a payout.
Find the optimal strategy and explain how you arrived at your answer.

Heard Jane Street has exciting internships for female students so I decided to apply. Filled out online application. Received a response for online assessment. The assessment was quite difficult for me. The interview was even harder. Lots of technical questions.
