Visa vs Walmart vs Jane Street Immersion Program

[river hill]

any reason?

hmm okay, ty for ur advice

[livid light]

How long is JSIP?

[river hill]

8 weeks

[livid light]

Are you set on entering quant?

Like if you are gonna get guranteed interview, you better pass it 😭

[river hill]

nah im not rlly confident i can pass quant procs im tryna optimize for big tech / unicorns

[shrewd badge]

JSIP would be a lot of fun i think

[feral fulcrum]

Congrats either way

[river hill]

thank you!

[visual forum]

ngl if u cant pass quant procs jsip is prolly cooked

if ur optimizing for big tech/unicorns visa is def the best

but if you know you can pass at least some quant procs then jsip prolly the move

[fervent dawn]

if you want to go into big tech / unicorns that's chill, but if your main issue with quant procs is the difficulty, i think most people who study hard for the next 8 months can pass at least some procs

[river hill]

do u think jsip or visa is better for big tech / unicorn recruiting?

[fervent dawn]

not sure, idk how the js name would be affected by the fact that it's an immersion program

[river hill]

on the resume id just have it as like software engineering fellow

cause that’s what js calls them

[river hill]

nah that’s insane larp if u don’t write production code i feel like 😭😭

[waxen marten]

just larp it doesn't matter i went to js fttp last year and a dude told me he put js trading bootcamp or smthn on resume but it was just a week of fun

he got plenty of qt procs this year recruiters will see js and interview

also if they ask about it in an interview u can just say it was the immersion program

but like at that point u just gotta pass the tech interview since u already passed the screen

wait i had this onsite at JS yday for swe but I also got into JSIP and they told me they want to modify the program this year to make it easier to get return offeres

because "in the past jsip was for freshmen but now sophs are unemployed and coming to jsip so we want to set them u pfor success" blahblahblah and i asked for RO and they said they r making big changes to the prog this year and hoping to make it easier for jsip ppl to get RO

but they said jsip ppl wont sign the IP agreement so u likely cant do the real work the swe interns r doing

[river hill]

i spoke to one of the jsip coordinators that works on the curriculum and he just said they were making the interview prep more robust so that’s probably what they meant by making the conversion between JSIP -> JS better

but i doubt there’s actual return offers

[agile sapphire]

wait lets DM i realized i talked to u b4

[viral wyvern]

@river hill hey did u find out if visa pushes to off season?
