Yeah, that's what people tell me, though the Jane Street interview is pretty tough; I've interviewed with them three times, and also been declined three times...so maybe I'm disproving my own point here.

How were the interviews like?

I mean, they were honestly fairly typical interviews, just a few pretty tough CS problems.

In one I remember one problem asked me to implement a hashmap, which wasn’t too hard, and then the second one had to do with some sort of latency prediction thing, where cleanups had to be done after certain numbers of milliseconds. I am afraid I cannot remember the details, but I remember that the second problem was quite difficult.

I suspect I could do much better now (or at least I hope I would), but I have not interviewed for them in like five years.
