Jane Street SWE interview process
See how Jane Street actually runs its software engineer loop, and why it looks nothing like a LeetCode grind. The rounds hand you a plain-English spec and a few stubs, then keep changing the requirements, usually without letting you run the code. What gets scored is the interface you design, the edge cases you catch on your own, and how you hold up when the interviewer pushes back on your first idea.
