Books to prepare for a career in S&T

Interview process/preparation
#1

For anyone out there trying to break into S&T, below a list of interesting introductory books about markets:

  • Options, Futures and Other Derivatives by John C. Hull

  • A Random Walk Down Wall Street by Burton Malkiel

  • Option Volatility & Pricing by Sheldon Natenberg

  • The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham

I recommend to start with the first one because it provides a comprehensive overview of different asset classes, with some technical materials.

if you need anything more specific, or maybe more in depth about equities, fixed income, derivatives… let me know.
