Book Reviews of How I Became a Quant: Insights from 25 of Wall Street's Elite
Book Review: A Must read for newbie Quants
Summary: 4 Stars
This book is a must read for all those who are entering or considering entering the world of Quantitative finance. Whilst there might be some omissions like Hull, Joshi, Rebonato, Jaeckel, Carr, Dowd , Thorp and the like (hopefully these will be featuring in the next edition), the mix between academics and practitioners is just about right. Anyone who studies the footnotes carefully and reads the seminal papers mentioned in the book will have a better appreciation of the significant contributions made by some of those featured and of the range of knowledge required to be a quant.
