<t>I realize that this is a quant forum so moderators, feel free to delete this thread if deemed inappropriate. I applied to McKinsey and received an invitation to take their Problem Solving Test. Any advice on how to prep for this? Thus far, I have taken two practice tests (Kosher Franks and Fiji C...

Appreciate all the replies. With regards to mit's question, I had planned on finding a tutorial and going over it.

<t>Greetings everyone, I have had some free time as of late and began studying statistics, seeing that a) I didn't know too much of it and b) the topic seemed interesting. After some studying, I've realized that I really like statistics and I would like to work on a project in order to crystallize s...

<t>QuoteOriginally posted by: Traden4AlphaStrictly speaking, this is true only in the proximate sense. It is true that quant methods did directly cause the asset bubble in housing, "relaxed" lending standards, inflated property appraisals, or fraudulent/risky/greedy/stupid approvals of loan applicat...

I forgot to add that expected graduation date is some time between Dec/2008 and May/2009.

<t>I'm a U.S. citizen currently doing a PhD in a U.S. university (electrical engineering, top 5 undergrad, top 5 grad school). How difficult would it be for me to get a finance job in Europe (preferably London I guess) right after graduation? I did a search on this topic and remember reading that th...

I appreciate everyone's replies. I'll take them into consideration as I weigh my options.

<t>Greetings everyone, I apologize in advance if a topic similar to this has been discussed in previous posts (used the search function but couldn't come up w/ any hits). I am currently a PhD student in electrical engineering, and I plan to graduate some time between 12/2008 and 5/2009. My current r...

<t>Again, I appreciate everyone's responses. As for summer internship, there's a strong chance that this upcoming summer (2007) will be my last summer before graduation, which will be at around May of 2008. Since it has been said that getting an internship is very important, what can I do between no...

<t>I appreciate your inputs. Why do you think it's better that I read Hull before Neftci? So far, I have read Chapters 1-5 and parts of 8 (regarding options) in Neftci haven't experienced too much difficulty understanding the material. As for a summer internship, I plan to apply to some major banks ...

<t>Hello everyone, I am currently a phd student in electrical engineering from a top 5 engineering school. My research focuses on simulating quantum dots using variational monte carlo (vmc) (before I use to work with density functional theory). I wrote the vmc sorce code from scratch using C. I have...
