Free, fully funded multi-day programs at Jane Street offices where early-year students play trading games, learn probability and market structure, and get noticed by recruiters. They suit first- and second-year undergraduates (and 2027 high-school graduates for AMP) who meet the eligibility window; they are not open to career changers. Before applying, read the eligibility line for your location; most programs are restricted by year of study or background.

Outcomes
This program does not publish job-placement or salary outcomes. Treat any number you hear from admissions as unverifiable.
Interview-prep depth
2 / 5
Program pages describe mock trading and problem-solving sessions; no DS&A or system design.
Job support: structured. INSIGHT page: mock trading sessions, probability and market-structure lessons, case studies; the programs are a recruiting funnel into Jane Street internships rather than general interview prep.
Whatever the program covers, the interview itself is free to prepare for here: coding patterns, system design, practice prompts, company guides.
What a careful reader should know
These are recruiting programs run by a trading firm, not courses for sale; eligibility windows are narrow (first- or second-year undergraduates, specific identities, specific locations). Dates and deadlines are not on the public pages; sign-up forms notify applicants of sessions. AMP requires US work authorization without sponsorship.
Third-party signals: Reddit sentiment positive. Graduation-time star ratings are collected by the schools; weigh them accordingly.
