Books recommended for brainteasers?

[Ramneik Bathla]

Hey guys,

I'm looking for books that will prepare me for any brainteaser question that might appear during a job interview? I'm looking into IB/Prop Trading/Quant research/Quant trading sort of jobs, so if anyone has any advice on what books I should look into that will help me ace the interview, I would greatly appreciate it!

How do you think this compares to the top 150 quant interview questions

Top be honest I havent read that one, but compared to Joshi, heard on the street and the Gilles Pages (popular French interview book), cracking the quant is
-More selective questions, in the sense that these 51 questions were actually asked in 2019/2020
-Having 51 selected questions allows the reader to plan a 1 week study for an interview
-The solutions are clearer than joshi or heard on the street, and for many questions we have included the elegant and the brute force way to solve the problem

I like the book and if you have used any of the Baruch books it’s very similar. Baruch mfe have very strong recruiting experience and the books are made accordingly. I like it better then the green book tbh just simpler and conscience
