<t>A friend of mine has got a potential job offer in liquidity risk management @ Top Tier bank. A few questions:-1) Salary range for AVP/VP ?-2) Career prospects? Can you move into ALM or liquidity management, i.e. short-term FI/MM trading?-3) Are you required to pass your FSA exams? I don't think i...

<t>How would you rank the different types of risk management jobs in terms of career, prestige, pay and development.- Market Risk- Credit Risk- Liquidity Risk- Operational RiskI would say, Market Risk > Credit Risk > Liquidity Risk > Operational Risk However, due to the crisis we've had, I wouldn't ...

<t>You are joking right? Never heard of this strategy before. Those b****** would do that to get rid off you, but they give you a 'favour' at the same time. Why bother in the first place, pay what you have to pay tight-ass b*******!QuoteMost likely, it's a current boss or co-worker who wants to help...

<t>Hi guys,Just posting on behalf of my brother, who recently got a phonecall from HR (BB bank) for a FO-Strat position. There's an informal meeting organised with desk head and MD and the HR guy is claiming they're interviewing him b/c of my his name in the market-place. MD wants to have an informa...

Just an update. Apparently, I'm still in the running and I'm not rejected yet. How weird is that?

Is there such a thing like Model Development/RAD in Back Office? Can you have quantitative/modelling career in Back Office? I guess the systems that are in place must have been developed by someone. It won't be the settlements guys, that for sure! Who is it then?

<t>Thanks for the funny replies. Unfortunately, it was a 'he' not my scene tbh! Would have preferred a sexy lady, but let's face most female bankers are not exactly hot. Usually, it's the secretaries! I hope the interviewer will take part in a speed dating session and hopefully, he'll get embarrasse...

<t>Just had another interesting interview experience @ BB bank. Interviewer didn't have my CV at hand, asked really silly questions about background and what I like to do. Then suddenly, he stopped and said they would see more candidates and get back to me.I take this as a rejection, but the fact it...

<t>QuoteOriginally posted by: KackToodleslet's see. there are thousands of experienced real FO VPs out there. why would anybody hire a vp from MO over these very available FO guys, or a fresh graduate from top school (who will work at lower entry level salary)? I take your point, however I should ha...

Anyone? Dominic, perhaps. Man of Wisdom!

<t>General question. If you have a senior position in MO, say at VP level, is it harder to move to FO compared to an Analyst level doing the same move? I guess VP in MO is not the same as a VP in FO. How does that work? Is it possible, or do they lower your grade if you move? Surely, there must be s...

<t>Being a graduate from the Finance department, it is possible to 'quantify' your MSc in A&F given you choose the correct electives. There is a course on Time Series Forecasting and a few others on Derivatives Pricing. Make sure you take these. Those modules should be sufficient for structuring...

<t>Personally, in Europe at least RBS Sempra is a huge in Metal, Power and Gas and importantly an important 'physical' player given their background (Sempra - Utility). In terms of fit and overlap, if they decide to merge:- Deutsche I think there will be a huge overlap and there will be many job cut...
