I used to read either the green book (A practical guide to quant interviews) or Mark Joshi's. I feel this is quite old now as industry has evolved a bit. Here is a short but interesting article on Expression Template that examplifies some basic usage of C++ templates. In this first module, I will do a comprehensive refresher of probability and statistics and practice sliding window algorithm questions on leetcode. My understanding of Probability is decent as I have taken multiple courses that have covered the subject matter. Materials Quantitative traders utilize tools built by quantitative developers to execute upon strategies developed by quantitative researchers. Traders are ocassionally extended research responsibilities and as well as development tasks depending on the organizational structure, strategy set, and size of the hedge fund.Optiver: Their first step is 8 mins , 80 questions MCQ math test made of simple arithmetic questions designed to assess your mental math speed and accuracy. unreservedly accessible pdf archives on the Internet.

In the event Organizations hiring for analytical roles seek candidates with logical reasoning processes, exceptional computational skills and strong statistical abilities. Because such organizations often operate at a fast pace and the decisions staff make can have far-reaching economic and financial impacts, interviewers seek to assess an applicant’s mathematical mastery, critical thinking skill and creativity, as well as the ability to perform under pressure. What does a quant interview look like?

Read about the specific organization with whom you are interviewing to understand their clients and the services, and the philosophy that guides their practice If you rarely program in C/C++, start with C++ Design Patterns and Derivatives Pricing. This is by no means a complete introduction, but it gives you an overview of the language. Let D be the day of the month of A's birthday, we have D belongs to the set {1,2,4,5,7,8}. If the birthday is on a unique day, C will know the A's birthday immediately. Among possible Ds, 2 and 7 are unique days. Considering that you are sure that C does not know A's birthday, you must infer that the day the C was told of is not 2 or 7. Conclusion: the month is not June or December. (If the month had been June, the day C was told of may have been 2; if the month had been December, the day C was told of may have been 7) Although each company will have its own interview protocol, here are steps you can take to prepare for quant interviews regardless of the organization:

What does a quant interview look like?

The quant finance interview books (the green book, red book, etc..) have C++ related questions only. Whereas most quant roles now ask for Python as well. Make sure you understand the usage and output of these functions: lm, glm, anova, summary.lm, plot.lm, acf, pacf. Python I'm reading an interview book called A Practical Guide to Quantitative Finance Interview by Xinfeng Zhou and I cannot make sense of the solution provided by the book, so I really appreciate your advice. You" know that colleague C knows the day, but C still does not know the birthday. -> Hence we can eliminate Jun 7 and Dec 2. 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.
