Make sure you understand the usage and output of these functions: lm, glm, anova, summary.lm, plot.lm, acf, pacf. Python Solid state physics Quantum theory Chemical bonds SCIENCE Physics Condensed Matter Física do estado sólido Mecânica quântica Quantitative Portfolio Management (Incredible book with interview questions scattered throughout which will also give you a highly developed ability to discuss statistical arbitrage and explain most of the core quant finance topics relevant to hedge fund/ asset management) 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.

Be prepared to devote time over a number of weeks to become fluent in financial terms and proficient with the different types of quant interview questions He can work out from D's ignorance giving M the answer that it is not a 2 or 7 (else D would have known in the first place). Now we only have Mar 4, Mar 8 and Sep 1 and then month-knower says she knows. And that could only be because the bday is i September 1. So know we all know. At this point, I will wrap up my interview prep by finishing Grokking The Coding Interview, and aiming to hit level 99 on math-trainer. Materials

What traits are firms seeking in quant candidates?

The quantitative hedge fund industry seems analogous to a highly abstracted game of poker where billions of dollars are on the line. Working in such an industry will allow me to merge my competitive drives (satisfied by poker) with my intelectual drives (satisfied by coding and math.) These jobs are certainly not easy to break into and demand a high degree of interview preparation. That being said, the skills tested in these interviews seem to cover the entire subject matter of my mathematics degree. Therefore, the act of preparing for these interviews will aid in the total assimilation of what I have learned these last 4 years and are a worthwhile activity regardless of my career outcome. Try using a build system, do not use an IDE. I prefer the naive makefile and the advanced CMake. (My personal view is Autotools is unpretty and out-dated.) IDEs are nice to work with, but helpless for interview prep.

But they don't know anything about the state of the other's information. Learning this is new information. 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.Organizations may ask you to complete a 30-minute online assessment before interviewing with a company representative. The most common tools for online assessments are Pymetrics, a platform that gamifies calculations and logical reasoning, and Hirevue, a video question bank of behavioral, mathematical and industry-specific questions. comments on the usefullness: 5 for fresh graduate, max(2, 5 - #years of experience) for experienced hires. Basic A "file MD5" is a hash that gets computed from the file contents, and is reasonably unique based on that content. All shadow libraries that we have indexed on here primarily use MD5s to identify files. The brain teaser section of both the quant prep books cover a variety of math topics. The questions test basic math but in novel and interesting ways. The two pointer technique questions on leetcode will aid in building my algorithm skills. Materials This book will prepare you for quantitative finance interviews by helping you zero in on the key concepts that are frequently tested in such interviews. In this book we analyze solutions to more than 200 real interview problems and provide valuable insights into how to ace quantitative interviews. The book covers a variety of topics that you are likely to encounter in quantitative interviews: brain teasers, calculus, linear algebra, probability, stochastic processes and stochastic calculus, finance and programming....

If the birthday would have been in June or Dec there would have been a chance that day-knowing C would have known it, because there are unique possible days-of-months in the list for possible birthdays in those months (Dec 2 and June 7). The only way the month-knowing person referred to as "you" in the problem could know that there is no chance for C, is that the months are neither June nor Dec. 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. Here is a short but interesting article on Expression Template that examplifies some basic usage of C++ templates. There's no real good book for R. Hadley's Advanced R is an excellent book, but it is only for advanced users.

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.

With the initial interview largely assessing analytical skills, subsequent interviews may focus on in-depth quant concepts related to the industry and to broader personality characteristics, such as how you weigh a given set of options, how you manage your time and why you’re drawn to working in that particular industry. How should I prepare? Practice 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.C doesn't know the real birthday: If this is true, then it can't be a birthday with a unique date, so it's not June 7th or Dec 2nd. 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. 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?
