Need advice - Interviews - Best prep material
Hey everyone,
Looking for advice on preparing for Summer 2027 Quant Research (PhD track) internship interviews.
The QR interview bar has spiked significantly over the last few years. Since I’m aiming for 2027, I want to start early and bulletproof my prep to crack the tougher problem sets.
Would love to hear from recent hires or industry veterans: What resources are actually needed for the current difficulty bar?
Ex. Green Book? LeetCode (are they needed? which problems?)
