Editorial Reviews: 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.
Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: it gives me new growth Comment: It have best questions and puzzles, I always enjoy when i open it, it gives me new growth. Customer Rating: Summary: Very useful book Comment: I wished I had read this book before I attended a very important exam of an investment bank. A lot of questions are from this book. Customer Rating: Summary: Good enough to get you started Comment: A good reference to get all revved up for what's coming your way on the journey to quantitative Wall Street? Customer Rating: Summary: very helpful Comment: I think this book is very useful even just from the perspective of finding something interesting to do when you get bored. Not mention it indeed provides a lot of relevant information about how to answer the interview quesionts. Customer Rating: Summary: Decent Comment: This is a decent book. I only looked at a couple of chapters on analytical and statistics problems. Some of the problems marked "hard" were quite interesting and challenging. Quite a few of the problems were trivial and repetitive though. The solutions are generally well written, though sometimes a bit too verbose (for my taste). Overall, not a bad investment if you are preparing for job interviews which may expect you to crack a few puzzles. More Reviews
