Track
Quantitative Trading and Research
Paid stage
Trading firms and quant funds screen on probability, expected value, games, and mental math, with no finance knowledge required and no case interview anywhere. This track covers the landscape, the assessment driven process, the core skills at working depth, an honest fit test for business majors, and a dedicated Green Book section that teaches Heard on the Street's question families through original questions.
Inside this stage
- The landscape: prop firms, quant funds, bank quant roles, and the trader seat
- The process: online assessments, phone screens, and game based final rounds
- Probability and expected value, including conditioning and Bayes updating
- Games and market making: backward induction, fair value, spread, updating
- Mental math under time and brainteasers as a method, not a memory
- Interview craft and the honest fit test for a business major
- The Green Book section: the book's structure, plus four concept walkthroughs
The briefings in this stage open with full access, a resume review tier, or an active membership. Stage 0 and Stage 1 are free, and the first briefing in Case Math and in the Accounting, LBO, and Modeling track is free.
