Jane Street trading desk operations?
I applied for a regular new grad SWE role at JS, and the recruiter emailed that they would only interview me for Trading Desk Operations. Does anyone know what this position is like? Is it all QA? How much is the pay compared to reg new grad SWE?

The job involves sitting along side with traders and assisting them with spreadsheets and database queries. It's not a Dev job. They have a one year training period as well. I had the same situation when I applied.

If it’s anything like trade ops here you’ll be doing automation tasks for traders. Not a bad job if you want to learn more about how trading works but I wouldn’t go for it if your goal is to be a full developer. You should ask the recruiter how often/likely internal transfers are and try to gauge their response.
