Heard on The Street: Quantitative Questions from Wall Street Job Interv

Un libro inusuale, comprato in fretta per la preparazione ad un colloquio, è stato una grande scoperta, super interessante pieno di domande di vari campi fatte a vere interviste

As someone who has sat for quite a few grillings in banking, management consulting, engineering, and VC interviews, I have received my share of tough interview questions. Moreover, I have taken a sizable number of brain teasers and IQ tests over the decades. This collection, which are designed for someone with a slightly different job description, really does include some tough questions. In fact, younger job candidates who have sub-superstar credentials should thoroughly try all the problems in this book early in their job search process.Far too often, second-tier individuals get roped into bogus trader jobs at third-tier firms, where turnover is worse than at McDonald's and the income opportunity is poor. In other words, in this "winner takes all" economy, it might be worth it to see if you are smart enough to answer such difficult questions before pursuing certain quant and trading jobs.

Great Book for interview preparation but also for a short review from time to time.In combination with two other books you are well prepared for any Finance-interview (http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/1438236662?redirect=true&ref_=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_14 und http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/0470748753?redirect=true&ref_=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_17).

aucune surprise, tout correspondait à l'annonce, livre impeccable et délai respecté, fournisseur sérieux'agissant du contenu, il est progressif, les exemples en fin de livre sont ardus !

An excellent book, covering a wide range of basic topics that a would-be quantitative analyst needs to be comfortable with. Something few beginners appreciate is that both during interviews and during subsequent work as a quant analyst, a really deep, intuitive grasp of the basics is infinitely more important that nodding acquaintance with a host of fancy theories.If you want to enter the profession, the 4 books I'd buy and really understand is this and its twin volume on Black-Scholes, Joshi's finance book, and Duffy's C++ book - if you really master the contents of those four, you're well on your way to success.
