Product Description
Product Description
This is a must read! It is the first and the original book of quantitative questions from finance job interviews. Painstakingly revised over 15 years and 12 editions, Heard on The Street has been shaped by feedback from many hundreds of readers. With 50,000 copies in print (late 2009), its readership is unmatched by any competing book. The revised 12th edition contains over 175 quantitative questions collected from actual job interviews in investment banking, investment management, and options trading. The interviewers use the same questions year-after-year, and here they are with detailed solutions! This edition also includes over 125 non-quantitative actual interview questions, giving a total of more than 300 actual finance job interview questions. There is also a revised section on interview technique based on Dr. Crack's experiences interviewing candidates and also based on feedback from interviewers worldwide. The quant questions cover pure quant/logic, financial economics, derivatives, and statistics. They come from all types of interviews (corporate finance, sales and trading, quant research, etc.), and from all levels of interviews (undergraduate, MS, MBA, PhD). The first seven editions of Heard on the Street contained an appendix on option pricing. That appendix was carved out as a standalone book in 2004, and it is now available in its revised second edition published April 2009: "Basic Black-Scholes" ISBN=0970055242. Dr. Crack has a PhD from MIT. He has won many teaching awards, and has publications in the top academic, practitioner, and teaching journals in finance. He has degrees/diplomas in Mathematics/Statistics, Finance, Financial Economics and Accounting/Finance. Dr. Crack taught at the university level for over 20 years including four years as a front line teaching assistant for MBA students at MIT. He has worked as an independent consultant to the New York Stock Exchange, and his most recent practitioner job was as the head of a quantitative active equity research team at what was the world's largest institutional money manager.

Such great books,
By Constantinos Kritis (London) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Heard on the Street: Quantitative Questions from Wall Street Job Interviews (Paperback)
I've recently finished a Financial Maths Course. A friend of mine had this book and as I was browsing it I realised the importance of it helping me prepare for interviews. I've got the book about a week ago and I can surely say that most of the questions I have faced so far in interviews are mentioned in this book. A must have!Furthermore, I also bought Timothy's other book the "Option Pricing and Trading". This one is exceptionally fantastic as well. Clearly written, helps me summarise and wrap-up all the things I was learning the last year. Without a doubt, Timothy Crack has done a fantastic job. PS. The only negative about this book (and something that Amazon.co.uk does NOT state), is that its E-book version does not allow printing (not to mention that it is more expensive).

If you want to become a quant, this is the book,

This review is from: Heard on The Street: Quantitative Questions from Wall Street Job Interviews (Paperback)
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.

An excellent book for any aspiring trader/quant,
This review is from: Heard on the Street: Quantitative Questions from Wall Street Job Interviews (Paperback)
I'm a MSc Financial Maths student. For me, this book was the best help in preparing for gp interviews (for a trainee trader position) that I have had so far. It contains plenty of questions with detailed explanations, 0 filler. The author stresses in many occasions the importance of the reasoning process. I would definitely recommed this. I wish I have discovered this book earlier in my career!
