1. 1ApplicationStated by Jane StreetThere are no real requirements for campus roles, applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, and applicants should hear back within a week.
2. 2Online assessmentTypicalTimed math and probability tests, sometimes a coding test or a market making game.
3. 3Phone screenStated by Jane StreetSome interviews are by phone, and candidates can ask for Zoom if the connection may be poor.
4. 4First roundStated by Jane StreetInterviews focus on collaborative problem solving; technology roles include coding in the language you know best, and trading roles do not test finance knowledge.
5. 5Final roundStated by Jane StreetFinal interviews can be in person, with travel and hotel booked and paid by the firm.
6. 6OfferTypicalUsually within days of the final round.

Timing between stages shows on each program page once students report it. Firms change formats by year and office; the firm's own invite is the final word.
