 Great interview prep. book April 23, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is a great book preparing for an interview, with lots of logic puzzles, stat. and derivatives questions, solid interview advice and some funny stories. The logic questions range from fairly straightforward and simple to more advanced, and I think most people will at least find a couple of them challenging.
Great fun!

I used this book to prepare for some Wall Street interviews, and I found the questions on Black-Scholes pretty useful to orient my study of Mathematical Finance (my background is in Theoretical Physics, so I used this book to get an idea of the kind of things I would have to learn to work as a Quant). The puzzles and brain teasers in the book were quite straightforward, but I guess one cannot ask too difficult a question in an interview, so they may be in keeping with the kind of questions one typically gets asked.

Some of the problems I solved in high school in Russia, some are new and interesting. Some are deep finance oriented and require significant background.
Would be 5 if had a hard cover

I ended up returning this item as it didn't fit my needs. I felt I could find the information in a basic corporate finance book or other books that I own and many of the question can be found in other less expensive books or on the internet.

Crack gives you the straight poop. Advice on how to act in your interview, how to answer questions, stat questions, logic puzzles, basic market questions, derivative valuation questions, and even some soft ball qualitative questions. Brilliant, and one of a kind.
