 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!
Nice book February 27, 2007

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.
Interesting book January 17, 2007

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.
One of a kind book! September 6, 2006

My students are constantly borrowing this book to prepare for interviews on Wall Street. Aside from the desire for preparing for interviews, the book is interesting on its own because it forces the reader to use very simple logic in many cases to answer what appear to be complex questions. Many times, it teaches the reader that examining the question is more critical to finding an answer than automatically jumping into complex mathematical logic.
