[1] Heard on the Street: Quantitative Questions from Wall Street Job Interviews by Timothy Falcon Crack Excellent book containing hundreds of solved sample problems from Wall Street interviews. Useful appendices review important finance concepts.
[2] Options, Futures, and Other Derivatives by John C. Hull The finance bible, required reading for all Wall Street jobs.
[3] Numerical Analysis by Lee W. Johnson and R. Dean Riess This book is out of print but any other introductory numerical analysis book should do.
[4] The Princeton Review: Cracking the GRE: Math by Steven A. Leduc Concise review of undergraduate mathematics; should be able to answer questions on this material on the spot.
[5] Introduction to the Mathematics of Financial Derivatives by Salih N. Neftci More mathematically sound than Hull's book [2], though it covers less material.
[6] Stochastic Differential Equations: An Introduction with Applications by Bernt K. Oksendal An excellent introduction to stochastic calculus, required knowledge for most quantitative jobs.

with the experiences and contact network accumulated through years of working
you can start your own firm. A lot of senior banks ran their own business now.

Agree. I think the most successful one among those banker-turned-entrepreneur is
Mike Bloomberg. I don't know any banks which don't use his products:)

To be honest I wonder how long is the life span of investment bankers
Would Papaya GG provide some insights?

2019-07-18 21:44

巩旭

senior bankers do have long life spans...
As long as a junior banker manages to survive the initial 7-8 years, he/she should be fine.

许骅

guess the life span is pretty ok,
initial 7-10 years building relationship and knowledge...
after 10 years, either head of xxx or out open your own business with your own relationship....
after 20 years, should be able retired already...
