Has anyone learnt OCaml, just to improve their chances of getting a job at Jane Street?

There's no point, they very explicitly don't expect candidates to know OCaml before joining. You can interview in just about any language you want.
I wonder why every time I search for a functional programming related concept, Jane street always pops in the search results

Any tips to crack a JS interview? You seem to be employed there.

There are blog posts by them regarding that. Might be of use to you.

Not the OP, but I failed at a Jane Street interview for their UK office.
Get updated on algorithms and data structures, Google interview style.
I wasn't (having been around for a few decades), and while I still managed to swim, failed to impress.

Are you going to keep trying?
Nope, it was a different phase of my life and I don't plan to go into UK any longer.
Plus I am not keen in companies that follow Google hiring practices.

The ROI is worth it, probably.
