The math, the coding, the probability, the interview games. Most people try to figure out the order themselves and burn 6–12 months on the wrong things.
This is the structured path, start to finish. What the roles actually are, what they pay, the exact skills in order, and the interview prep nobody hands you.
No fluff. No dead links. No "go learn it on YouTube" hand-waving.
What's inside
What's inside
- →15 probability brainteasers, fully worked, by category. The classics that show up again and again, Monty Hall, Bayes, coupon collector, optimal-stopping, gambler's ruin — each with the principle it teaches, so you can solve the question you haven't seen yet.
- →The full 7-stage interview gauntlet. Online assessment → mental math → probability → coding → trading games → behavioral → superday, and exactly what each stage tests.
- →A mental-math system + timed drills. The kind of speed screen firms like Optiver and SIG use, and how to train for it.
- →The skill tree, in the right order. Minimum-viable math to start, then math, programming (real quant Python + the LeetCode patterns that matter), and statistics, with the one best resource for each.
- →Real 2026 pay, grounded. Quant trader $250–450k+, researcher $225–400k, developer $200–350k. By role, sourced — not the "$1M your first year" fantasy.
- →The 7 quant roles, and which are realistically attainable for your background.
- →Trading & market-making games explained, plus a quant coding-round walkthrough.
- →The canonical books, the MFE/PhD reality, and the firm tier map, who's elite, who's your realistic target.
- →Cheat sheets — probability formulas, distributions, Itô / Black-Scholes, Python snippets — and a 12-month plan with checkpoints.
Why this is different: most "quant guides" are a list of free resources you could've Googled. This contains the worked answers, the drills, and the order — the part that actually takes months to assemble yourself.
Who it's for
Students, career-switchers, and anyone serious about breaking into quant who wants one clear path instead of fifty browser tabs.
Not for you if
You want a shortcut around the work. This makes the work efficient, it doesn't remove it.
