All Practical, No BS!

Working in quantitative finance can be highly rewarding, in both intellectual and monetary terms (but especially the latter!). Quants-finance practitioners who develop and apply sophisticated mathematical and statistical models for asset pricing, trading and risk management-routinely make six figures, with the top ones raking in millions each year.

Starting Your Career as a Wall Street Quant is the first and only career guide specifically written for readers who want to get into quantitative finance and launch a lucrative career. It covers everything you wanted to know about getting a quant job, from writing an effective resume to acing job interviews to negotiating the job offer. Written by a practicing senior quant and packed with practical, useful tips (and devoid of BS that would get you nowhere), this book will help you get the quant job you want.

Want to know what the single most critical element of your resume is? Want to know how to impress any interviewer as well as what to say and what not to say at a job interview? Want to know which books to study to acquire the right kind of quantitative education, the kind relevant to finance, and to gain an edge over your competitors? You'll find the answers to these questions, and many more, in this insider's guide.

From the Author

As a working quant, I've been to both sides of the job search process: I've been to many job interviews where I found my palms sweating wet all day long, and I've also been on the other side of the desk interviewing candidates whose palms were probably sweating wet. In writing this book, my goal is to offer you practical information and advice that can prove valuable in your quest to get a quant job on Wall Street.

I call this book a "practical, no-BS guide" because that's what it is: lots of practical information you can use right away. I don't BS. I won't be selling you anything, and I don't have a hidden agenda like someone who is a professional headhunter might. I simply want to help you and others who are looking to start a quant career. It's that simple. (BTW, BS here does not stand for Black-Scholes!)

评论 ······

这本书内容很详细，比那些罗列brain teaser的题目的破书好太多了

感觉讲的很泛泛，并不practical啊。。。

断断续续的看完了这本被作者描述为第一本详尽的Quant求职书籍，可以说这本书也是自己完完整整看过的第一本非小说类英文书籍。看这本书的初衷是想要了解作为一个Quant，到底需要哪些技能被点亮。大体而言，金融、数学以及计算机，而其中数理量化分析能力（计量统计、概率模型、微分方程、蒙特卡洛仿真、随机积分）是最为重要的，这也是为什么称作Quant的原因；金融以及经济相关的知识掌握大概就好，不要做门外汉就好…

看得我阵阵冷汗！挺实用的，而且细节到点，部分章节的内容都可以当handbook来看。不足之处有：关于介绍interview还有其他非技术部分的章节略冗长，以及作者作为一个equity analyst可能涉及到的内容大多为他的工作领域。不过呢，如果作者要说到方方面面的话，可能就不会那么practical了。
