A Practical Guide To Quantitative Finance Interviews

Broadly covers a wide range of material.

It covers topics frequently asked during quant interviews like probability & stat, linear algebra, brain teasers, etc. Each chapter contains a brief recap of relevant materials with a set of interview questions with detailed answers. It helps with my preparation a lot.

What Zhou has done better is his answers have very clear logics and easy-to-follow reasoning, which from what I understand is the very thing that quant interviews are meant for. They interview you not just to test your familiarity with the topics, but to see how you work through the problems, analyze the information and find a reasonable solution. That's why this is a great book. It is extremely helpful to candidates who are not native speakers. The writer's explanation, again (sorry I am repeating myself), can teach you how to think out loud during the interviews, and similarly how to tackle new problems.

I used it to prepare for my quant trading interviews. Its brain teaser and probability questions are very helpful.

It’s a great book for learning and practice. It has a few typos though.

Item arrived in fine condition as advertised.

We all know this book is top3. Had this book printed before in a bad quality, gave it to a friend of a friend. Recently decided to buy one for myself again and was surprised by the quality of this print. Just plain awesome!

This guide offers a comprehensive overview of quantitative finance interviews, with practical tips and sample questions. It covers essential topics and provides valuable insights into the interview process. While it’s highly informative, some sections could benefit from more in-depth explanations. Overall, a useful resource for anyone preparing for a quant finance interview.

L’affichage du livre est terrible, une qualité déplorable, bref la lecture est impossible.

Book is good quality. If you are preparing for quant interviews, then this is a must read.

I have read 4 or 5 books on quant interviews and I have done well when interview time came. This book is my favourite in terms of its content. The problems range from easy to very difficult but the solutions are clear and it's possible to learn a lot from it. Many problems are beatiful.Unfortunately the design is lacking - poor quality overall, solutions presented right after the problems so it's hard to not have a glimpse, no index at the end. I have opted for 5 stars anyway because the content is what matters most.

Great Book for interview preparation,but also amazing for review from time to time. In combination with two other books you are well prepared. I want to stress one important point about this book: it is a little different, it rather focuses on the technical part (probability etc.) but does not come short of the others. Therefore, I think, for any technically focused job a very good review of the material (just to check if you are able to solve it or not, such that you can look it up in other books).

The backbone of the book is broken, not sure if it is due to delivery. Content ok though.
