Product Description

Synopsis

The 11th edition contains 170 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 solutions! These questions come from all types of interviews (corporate finance, sales and trading, quant research, etc), but they are especially likely in quantitative capital markets job interviews. The questions come from all levels of interviews (undergrad, MBA, PhD), but they are especially likely if you have, or almost have, an MS or MBA. The latest edition includes 125 non-quantitative actual interview questions, and a new section on interview technique---based partly on Dr. Crack's experiences interviewing candidates for the world's largest institutional asset manager. 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 in Mathematics/Statistics, Finance, and Financial Economics and a diploma in Accounting/Finance. Dr.Crack taught at the university level for 20 years including four years as a front line teaching assistant for MBA students at MIT.

He recently headed a quantitative active equity research team at the world's largest institutional money manager.

5.0 out of 5 stars Such great books, 24 Oct 2005

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).

5.0 out of 5 stars If you want to become a quant, this is the book, 13 May 2007

By	Dr. Egor Kraev "ZmeiGorynych" (London, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent book for any aspiring trader/quant, 29 Oct 2003

By	"gatarek" - See all my reviews

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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Must have before you go to any IB interview!
You need to work through that book before you go to ANY IB interview! It had questions I got asked in interviews at MS in both M&A and trading. Read more

Published 11 months ago by Norman Niemer

1.0 out of 5 stars Not very informative in handling proper interviews.
The book is a light hearted look at possible interview questions asked by Wall Street Firms but does not tackle the problem of how to behave or handle interviews successfully.
