Reading list for incoming QR role at top trading firm
Hi,
I will be joining a top trading firm for a graduate QR role next summer and was wondering what kind of books/topics are most effective to look into as preparation. Note I have a CS background and it is not decided yet which desk I will be joining (however, the firm is not one of the very option-centric ones).
Here are some of the things I thought about:
- C++ (I have a fair amount of Python experience, but am not very familiar with C++)
- General mathematics refresher: A Primer For The Mathematics Of Financial Engineering by Dan Stefanica
- Stochastic calculus: Stochastic Calculus for Finance I & II by Steven Shreve
- Options: Option Volatility and Pricing by Natenberg
Besides reading some books, I also plan on doing some trading-related (Python) data science projects as preparation. What do you think about the topics I outlined? Do you have anything to add or think spending time on any of these is not effective?
Would love to hear any thoughts on how to best prepare.
Thanks in advance!
