{"product_id":"9780994103864","title":"Heard on the Street: Quantitative Questions from Wall Street Job Interviews","description":"\u003cb\u003eFrom The Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eThe 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.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e WHY I WROTE IT:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e 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.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e ABOUT THE AUTHOR:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e I have a PhD from MIT.
