I have a friend who gets an interview at a fixed income trading firm. It was for a trading assistant position, but he was asked about p-value and some stats questions. I am interested in break into the trading industry. Do I now need VBA, SAS, programming experience now to be even an assistant position due to the economy?
Does any one has any insights on this? I am more of a math background rather than CS majors.
Also, I am looking at Vault Guide, or WSO guide for the stocks and trading. I already have the technical guide from WSO and it is great. I am just wondering if I should get the trading and stock guide too or if I should get all the vault guide?
Thank you !
How about learning to speak English first...

Any good math books or material to prepare for trading interviews? (Originally Posted: 12/23/2010)
Can anyone recommend any 'brain teaser' books or material that could help me prepare for trading interview questions? A lot of it is just knowing the tricks and method of doing a question.
I remember when I was a kid, I some math competitions and they had similar questions but I forgot what the name of the competitions were. Mathcounts was nice but the questions there are slightly different than trader questions.
Thanks. This would be good review for me over the winter break and on the airplane.
try the wso trading guide. it's pretty cheap
