<p>How high level of math do investment bankers and other very competitive finance jobs (HF, PE, VC, etc.) use on a daily basis (or at least often)?</p>
<p>Lots arithmetic and algebra. Mental, paper or on Excel.</p>
<p>(educated guess - no IB experience but since no one had replied…)</p>
<p>Very basic. You do not need to know advanced mathematics. You just need to be good with numbers and be able to logically piece things together.</p>
<p>Thanks for the information!</p>
<p>It’s not hard math, but you need to be very comfortable with numbers.</p>
