Are C++ Quant Interview Questions Stopping You From Getting The Job?

You've done an MFE, know your stochastic calculus and have implemented a few models, but still find it hard to get to the final round interview.

What if there was a way to learn precisely what you needed without having to spend huge sums on C++ textbooks and weeks of study that didn't help in interview?

With C++ For Quantitative Finance we've distilled the knowledge required to pass a quant job interview into an easy-to-study package, which concentrates on the core concepts required to get the coveted role.

In C++ For Quantitative Finance you'll learn about the right way to price derivatives and how to structure your code professionally, using modern software development techniques that you can discuss in interview.

Learn about object-oriented programming design and how to properly apply it with Monte Carlo and Finite Difference Methods to price complex derivatives contracts.

Ignoring C++ makes your interviews much harder.

If you fail to study any C++ prior to interview, competing candidates will perform better and win that coveted quant role.

If you're a MFE student, PhD candidate or prospective quant, your peers are likely to gain the best jobs because they’re able to impress the interviewer with their extensive C++ knowledge, while you're finding it challenging.

Without the essential C++ knowledge, there's a strong chance you'll find interviews much harder and it will take a lot longer to find a quant job.

Fear not! Here's the solution.

C++ For Quantitative Finance will take you on a journey from knowing little or nothing about how to apply C++ to quantitative finance to understanding and implementing essential quant models, object oriented programming techniques and best practice design patterns, keeping you ahead of your peers.

You'll gain the knowledge of how to effectively code in C++, do better in interview and ultimately get a chance at going for the most lucrative quant jobs.

This guide will show you how to apply C++ to quantitative analysis models and then go on to pass a technical interview at a bank or hedge fund. We get emails every day from people thanking us for the organised, easy-to-read C++ articles on the site. We made sure to make C++ For Quantitative Finance the best there is!

Frequently Asked Questions

Where can you learn more about us?

We have written over 200 posts on QuantStart.com covering options pricing in C++, quant finance careers and quantitative development. You can read through the archives to learn more about C++ techniques and derivatives techniques.

Which package should you buy?

This mostly depends on your budget. The book with full extra source code is the best if you want to dig into the code immediately, but the book itself contains a huge amount of code snippets that will aid your quant trading process.

What if you're not happy with the book?

C++ For Quantitative Trading comes with a 100% lifetime money-back guarantee. If you are unhappy with the book for any reason, we will refund you the price - no questions asked. Although we're fairly sure you'll find it extremely useful!

Can we be contacted?

Of course! If you still have questions after reading this page please get in touch and we will do our best to provide you with a necessary answer. However, please take a look at the articles list, which may also help you.

Will you get a hardcopy of the book?

No. At this stage the book is only available in Adobe PDF format, while the code itself is provided as a zip file of fully functional C++ scripts, if you purchase the "Book + Code" option.

What background will I need?

The book assumes a basic knowledge of C++ syntax and that you have some exposure to options pricing, i.e. the Black-Scholes model. Other than that, the book is self-contained.
