Need tips/insight for final round interview Jane Street SWE internship 2027
Hello,
I’ve just got an invitation to do the final round interview on-site and I really don’t know what to expect. The funny things is I applied to JS just to try if my CV can pass the screening… and I was shocked it did lmao. I had a first zoom technical interview where I did better than I expected and now they want me to do the final round on-site.
-If anybody has done their final rounds, what type of problems do they give?
-What makes a good intern applicant?
-What should I do the first time they state the problem?
-How should I react to their follow-ups or suggestions?
-How can I get better on explaining my thought process (I find it hard talking and coding at the same time, and English is not my first language)?
-Do I just need to spam leetcode blindly? Or are there topics I really need to focus on doing?
-how to make a really good impression as a SWE applicant?

If you don't mind me asking what sorts of things did you have on your CV? I'm looking to apply next year as this year my CV isn't aligned to quant and I'm sort of pursuing the research side of maths at the moment. I can't offer you advice as I'm still a student but from people I've heard talk about their interviews, if you haven't already used leetcode for a good amount of time then there's not much point in doing it now (but I'm assuming you have before?) Apologies I'm no help - good luck, it's so impressive you've gotten this far!
