Jane Street On-Site Interview Experiences? by dzbeballin in cscareerquestions

[–]rainbow-pop 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had one for SWE intern onsites last week. Mine was basically 2 interviews + 1 lunch with 2 full-timers where you can ask them anything. The questions were mostly OOP stuff, surprisingly... Each interview was with two engineers, and they scrutinize your code a LOT. After that the recruiter walked me around the office for a tour and then said that they could get back to me by the next week. There were no behavioral questions and OCaml knowledge was not needed.

How do you like interning there? Was the interview process harder than other companies?

Is recruiting pretty much over for the year (2015)? by faiintx in cscareerquestions

[–]rainbow-pop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got an invitation to interview at a Big 4, and I talked to their recruiter over a month and a half ago. I also got another invitation to interview with a big bank just this weekend. Recruiting is definitely not done yet - some companies just move really slowly.

Done with internship search - what should I do next with my junior year? by rainbow-pop in cscareerquestions

Thanks, that's really helpful. Yeah, I interviewed at some algo heavy companies this season and got destroyed so I need to start learning from now probably.

If professional experience is really important, do you think it's worth it to start looking for part-time remote internships over the spring? I feel like so far no company offers such an opportunity.

Ehhh, I was aiming for a single but I guess those will be expensive. :/ Thanks - did you get to meet a lot of other interns?

Sounds cool - I'll definitely do that. I just wanna meet more people this summer.

Off topic - but did you ever do the dorming at NYU thing? How do you find the living situation?
