Overview
Jane Street is a trading firm with a unique focus on technology and collaborative problem solving.
The environment at Jane Street is open, informal, intellectual and fun. You can wear a t-shirt and jeans to the office every day, the kitchen is stocked full of complimentary food, there’s a gym and a games room onsite, and discussions are always lively! Teaching and learning are central activities at Jane Street through classes, mentoring and discussion.
Technology is at the core of how Jane Street approach trading, and they consider themselves as much a technology company as a trading firm. So, if you're going to University and are interested in STEM and a trading career, then join us for an online work experience event with professionals from Jane Street.
What this event could lead to
Jane Street's key to success isn’t brand recognition, but people. Their growth comes from hiring and training amazing people and giving them the tools they need to innovate. Linking to this goal is Jane Street's incredible 3 day programmes for first year University students, 'Insight' and 'In Focus'. By attending this event, you can learn more about both, and how to apply when applications open in January 2022.
