Hi, I'm joining JS soon as a swe and I'm going through the team matching process. Can anyone offer suggestions about teams? I'm mainly concerned that the areas I'm interested in are less valued than i.e. desk dev. Have heard different things from different people. #janestreet
They make it pretty clear that where you work in the firm won’t matter. Otherwise why would we give you a offer before we give you a team?
TC? How are the interviews like?
Old and new Tc? Yoe?
Congrats on leaving Roblox! I know virtually nothing about Jane Street, but it's safe to assume they have better managers/engineer culture, because, well, it's not Roblox. I was contacted by Jane Street as well. I already have a job offer so I will pass, but just out of curiosity, what's the pay compared to Roblox?
Better than your offer. Definitely take a swing if you really have a chance.
Sure, it will probably be better, but the company I am joining has a top notch culture, so I am trying to get a sense of the premium to sacrifice the culture. Some numbers - Roblox was $600K to start. Refreshers make it $640K now after 15 months. New company offer is about $500K - but I have worked with those folks before and it's going to much less work, way better people, and a much brighter company future (after over a year here, I have no confidence that Roblox can execute anything). If Jane Street is $700K TC, eh, not that big of a deal. I'll take $100K after-tax hit and chill with my kids in my new job. But if it's like $1 million TC, then we are talking.
Just follow your heart. (My heart likes money)
Our hearts beat in unison ;) Do you mind if I dm you for a referral?
TC?
