Advanced finance interview questions, perfect. Appreciated.
I hate that guide. Don't spend a second of your time thinking about how many golf balls fight in a jumbo jet....
Appreciate the honest feedback! Going in for a third round of technical interviews with GS IBD (lateral hire). I've just purchased: - WSO Technical Interview Guide - BIWS investment banking interview Guide
Do you recommend the BIWS Modeling programs for interview prep? Wetfeet? Other suggestions?
Vault Guide to Financial Interviews (Originally Posted: 01/27/2013)
Does anyone have a pdf of a recent publication, 2010-2012? Only one I can find is from 2005.
I have 2012, but I'm not sure how much different it is from 2005
Can you provide the link to the '05? Please. PM?
Vault guides to download? (Originally Posted: 11/18/2008)
Does anyone know where you can download pdf versions of the vault guides for free? Specifically looking for the private wealth one.
Vault uses encryption to protect the guides and prevent sharing, so you are highly unlikely to find a free version. Guess how I know...
not all are encrypted... only the most popular/newly updated ones are... unsure about the PWM one but find a friend that has access through their school
Just google it. filetype:pdf vault guide
something like that.
Access to Vault guides? (Originally Posted: 01/27/2008)
Hey guys,
I'm trying to help my friend who has a consulting interview, and I'm wondering if anyone can post a link to the Vault guides for consulting. I am aware that there is a consulting forum, but no one really goes there.
Thanks in advance.
It's behind a password protected area at my school. Try your career services website?

Vault Guides - Good place to download? (Originally Posted: 01/19/2013)
Does anybody know if there are places to download pdfs of vault guides? I am looking to read up on it prior to the summer, but am not in the mood to drop 75 bucks
You could probably check with your schools Career Office. They may have copies licensed for kids enrolled at your university.
Didnt even think about that. Thanks
They aren't worth your time go and get BIWS/WSO/M&I
WSO
My career center had them as free downloads. The WSO guide is a lot better though.
Do not use the Vault guides. Do not use the Vault guides. Do not use the Vault guides.
They are horribly out of date and inadequate. Maybe you would have gotten those questions 10 years ago, but not now.
Interview Prep - Vault guide to finance interviews - Good preparation? (Originally Posted: 12/13/2007)
I have read the various forums. It seems the vault guide to finance interviews is good preparation for a SA interview. Is this enough for s&t SA interviews? What about the advanced finance and quantitative interview vault guide? As an econ major from a target, is it necessary to know alot of technical finance for SA interviews in s&t, given the limited exposure to such? Any advice for prep guides or strategies would be greatly appreciated.
I'll tell you my experiences at BB's. Most equities guys cared about the markets. They will ask market questions so make sure you really know whats going on- they really picked apart my stock picks to make sure i had done my homework but usually didn't shoot major math or technical questions. In fixed income, i received some basic technical questions and a ton of straight math questions. One guy opened with "I am going to start out with some basic questions to get to know you better. How do you calculate the covariance of a two bond portfolio?" Then when he saw i was on the right track he interupted with "whats the square root of 4000." Those were really the most technical questions i faced during the whole SA interviewing process. Someone feel free to correct me if i got off easy.
Above post sums up my experience in interviewing for S&T. Although I was interviewing for FT analyst I can not imagine the interviews being too different. Bond math questions are very typical for fixed income and market questions / stock picking typical for equity. Only thing I would add is basic option knowledge like put call parity and the greeks. I never went on a forex interview so i can not comment. Traders like to make you uncomfortable during an interview. The best thing is to study and stay calm.
im actually curious, how do you calculate the covariance of a two bond portfolio? all I would have said is you take the return minus the expected return for each bond, multiply them together, and add up for all different returns. is that right?
Vault guide - Preparation to final round interviews (Originally Posted: 11/04/2007)
As preparation to final round interviews at Citi ib London, have bought the vault guide to finance interviews. Is that good enough? cause they're also selling for advanced finance interviews and finance interview practice guide? The questions in the book I have (guide to fin inter) seem rather simple..
check out the wetfeet guide too. you can find it if you go to esnips.com and search "wetfeet guide to investment banking."
also, read the wsj and as many magazines like the economist, daily deal, cfo magazine, etc.
