From The Author
The book contains over 100 quantitative questions collected from actual investment banking job interviews. There are also about 30 quantitative questions from investment management or options trading job interviews. The interviewers use the same questions year after year and here they are! These questions come from all types of investment banking interviews (corporate finance, sales and trading, quantitative research, etc), but they are especially likely in quantitative capital markets job interviews. The questions come from all levels of interviews (undergraduate, MBA, PhD), but they are especially likely if you have, or almost have, an MBA. The questions cover pure quantitative/logic, financial economics, derivatives, and statistics. Each quantitative question in the book is accompanied by a very detailed solution and by helpful advice. The latest edition also includes about 100 non-quantitative actual interview questions.
WHY I WROTE IT:
My MBA students at MIT were constantly asking me for exactly this material to prepare for the unique nature of their job interviews. The interviews (like the profession itself) can be stressful, high-pressured, and confrontational. Interviewers routinely present interviewees with difficult quantitative problems to be solved on the spot. These questions relate to important topics that are often excluded from regular MBA curricula. There are two reasons for using such questions: first, it increases the pressure in the interview (and serves to screen out those who cannot handle pressure); and second, the questions can be answered only by the more talented interviewees (thereby screening out the sheep). The bottom line is that MBA students who study my book are effectively taking a course with me where I fill in some of the gaps in their finance MBA education.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
I have a PhD from MIT. I have won many teaching awards and I have publications in the top academic, practitioner, and teaching journals in finance. I have degrees in Mathematics/Statistics, Finance, and Financial Economics and a diploma in Accounting/Finance. I have been teaching at the university level since 1985 including four years as a front line teaching assistant for MBA students at MIT.
