his 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=097[zasłonięte]5242.Dr. Crack has a PhD from
