Summary: Really great prep for Finance interviews
Review: 6 stars, because it's helpful too. A really fun read, for me it was like a book of crosswords. This book is best suited for MBA's interviewing for top jobs, or undergrads interested in seeing what's expected of them after they get an MBA.

Summary: THIS E-book IS UNPRINTABLE
Review: Don't purchase the e-book if you need to print out this book. AMAZON does not explicitly tell you that it is unprintable. It will be a nightmare to even communicate with the "refund and returns" department.They will repeatedly evade your questions and in the end will not refund you- very unethical. Get the paper version of this GREAT book otherwise AMAZON will rip you off. Why is it that Amazon has no telephone number when it comes to refunds and returns? A little shady...

Summary: a quant trader
Review: I recently interviewed other 30 wall street firms. I am so upset that: a. I found a lot of questions which put me away from some great places are coming from this book. b. To ask these standarized question will put an experienced trader in a unfaired position comparing new graduates. BUT: as the book said, you got to answer the damn question if they are basic. SO I hate that this book exists for us to cheat, and I hate more of those lazy employees for using this book to turn away some great assets to the firm.

Summary: good for PhD quant positions
Review: I'm a financial engineering student at an Ivy League institution. Just got the book from Amazon. Awesome book, so far the best help in preparing for technical aspect of the ib (quantitative positions) interviews that I have encountered. I thought it would be sort of a black and white xerox copy - instead it turned out to be really well published. The book is rather weighty (>300p), contains a plethora of questions with detailed explanations, 0 filler. The guy is very good about cultivating the attitude of, "It's the thinking process and not the number in the answer." Overall, I would definitely recommed this. Given the amount of general info you can garner off free advice sites - vault/wetfeet, this may as well be the number one book on your preparation list.

Summary: Do NOT interview for any analytic job before reading this!
Review: This book is specifically targeted at those applying for highly-quantitative jobs on Wall Street, and any job seeker in that area would be nuts not to take advantage of the inside information Professor Crack reveals.The reason I am writing this review, though, is that I believe the sample interview questions and advice are invaluable to anyone interviewing for any job that involves a lot of analysis. I am not in the finance field, but rather in technology consulting. Having practiced with Heard on the Street, I found the "tough" interview questions I encountered to be downright easy, and I breezed through several rounds of interviews, landing the job I wanted at a major computer company best known by its three-letter acronym. If you're headed to Wall Street, reading this book is a no-brainer. If you're headed anywhere else that involves numbers, logic or analysis of a non-financial nature, you'll still be glad you read it.

Summary: A Waste of Money
Review: This book was terrible - completely amateurish. You could find the same (and better) information freely available on the internet. In the chapter on programming he has a few trivial questions and then states that he doesn't know anything about programming so there will be no explanations for these problems. I'm paying for this? The book is also sprinkled with annoying annecdotes that have little to with the topic of the book. Stay away!
