What is the hiring process like at Jane Street?

The pay is good, the hiring process is reasonable and the people are great.

The work-life balance is better than what I've heard of other trading firms, but it's still a trading company.

Pays well and very generous

The interview process is rigorous

Super smooth interview process no complaints

Almost no complaints besides being very difficult

Incredible compensation for software engineers, especially relative to large tech companies. Fantastic culture - feels like working for a tech company.

Performance process is pretty opaque (mostly people don’t mind because the pay numbers that come out of it are so high). Hours are on the longer side for tech (9 hour days are standard), but this is short for a trading company.
