This is a must read! It is the first and the original
book of quantitative questions from finance job
interviews. Painstakingly revised over 17 years and 13
editions, Heard on The Street has been shaped by
feedback from many hundreds of readers. With over 50,000
copies in print, its readership is unmatched by any
competing book. The revised 13th edition contains 185
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 130
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
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. |
