<t>HelloPlease could someone inform me about growing importance of Risk-Based P&L? RBPL is as I understand it a P&L predict based on the sensitivities method (Taylor expansion). I understand its growing importance due to the Fundamental Review of the Trading Book (FRTB) but am unsure as to w...

<r>I'm at a crossroads for my career choice again, and would appreciate some advice.I have a secured offer to work for Murex in Paris for a year via a consultancy (all expenses paid) as a FO Business Analyst, supporting clients.

The CISI Diploma is the only qualification worth having from the CISI. You need to pass 3 exams, the courses for which cost about £2000 each.Your best bet is to look for quant developer roles rather than pure quant jobs.

<t>Going for Murex won't stop you 'progressing' to the FO but it certainly won't be enough. I worked on a Murex project in 06 with 3 other Analysts; two became traders. One is now an EQD trader at SocGen and another is an EQD trader at Goldman. The former did a professional finance qualifcations and...

What reputation does the flow equity derivatives desk at JPM have? Any notable traders or quants?

QuoteOriginally posted by: endian675You giving up on trading then?Almost but not quite. If I don't like Murex world, I'll look for another desk developer role.

I'm only taking a step down because it is a chance to work with Murex again. I've decided to sign but if I don't like it I'll walk in the first month with 1 week's notice.

1 month! I'll upload the segment on photobucket but I am not happy with this given it is a junior role!

<t>How common is 3 mths notice period these days for junior roles at a consultancy in the financial markets, never mind banks?I thought it was common for VP and above at banks, but junior roles at a consultancy seems to be taking the p***!It seems extremely harsh. I'm thinking of rejecting an offer ...
