What background do I need to have to take this course?
We teach everything from the ground up, so there are no strict pre-requisites.
Quant interviews will not ask you to derive a new theorem on the fly. Interview questions are designed to test your intuitive understanding of the fundamental concepts of probability, expected value, and risk-taking. This course will teach you these fundamentals and help you develop a robust intuition that you can use to the questions that will be thrown at you.
Anyone who has completed high school math will be able to learn this material, but those with an undergraduate level lower division math education (i.e. discrete mathematics, introduction to probability and random processes) will pick up concepts much faster. Acing quant interviews is all about practice and getting hundreds of reps in — our interview question bank is designed with that exact goal in mind.

Does this course work for Quant Trading, Quant Research, and Quant Analyst interviews?
Yes. These 3 roles share immense overlap when it comes to interviews. Quant Research and Analyst roles are practically identical (you'll notice many firms don't even have both titles at their company, since they're effectively the same). All 3 roles are inherently technical, risk-taking roles and the interviews reflect that: 90% of your interviews for all 3 roles will be complex probability, expected-value, betting, strategy, market-making, brainteaser interview questions (Quant Blueprint will make you an veteran at all of these!). The last 10% is where you'll notice a slight difference, where (depending on your background) Quant Research roles may have 1 coding interview with a Leetcode medium question, and a background-specific interview asking about any experience you've listed on your resume.
Students who have enrolled in our course have landed offers all across the spectrum (Trading, Research, and Analyst roles) — once you get through the course, you'll be able to crush interviews across the spectrum.
