Credit Suisse Quantitative Strategy Institute Exam

[spacecowboy]

Hey y’all,

So I got a little invite in the mail to the Credit Suisse QSI exam for their summer internship program. Has anyone taken it in the past and can perhaps shed a light on what’s gonna be on the exam? They said in the email basic math (doubt its basic), programming, problem solving (probably brain teasers) and financial math. But specifically do I need to know?

get a general feel for, and get comfortable with, what wall street quant interviews tend to ask. look up the common resources available, the QSI thing you mentioned is casting a wide net of things none of which are new

Thanks!
I get that, and I have the books too. It’s just my school (first year in mfe) hasn’t covered that much yet. I was wondering if I’d have to pick up option pricing, stochastic, brown motion, martingale etc which I’m not familiar with. I only have a week to prep lol.

I'd assume that's what financial math means. But they're casting a wide net so I suggest doing the same yourself instead of getting burrowed in just financial math
