Welcome! @msandsm. In my experience, you can cut them pretty much any way you want. If you simply want to shape this leggy one, take off the ends of the branches where you want that final shape to be. That could be 1/3, 1/2, or even 2/3 of the lengths. You can plant those cuttings and most of them will root. In my opinion I think you have those leggy, drooping branches because of lack of light. Jade do best in very strong, though indirect light. They can be acclimated to sun, but if you rush it, the leaves will sunburn. Early morning or very late afternoon sun is great though. When the leaves of mine get reddish along the leaf-borders, I know it is getting just the right amount of sun and bright light.
