Hi, I am not sure if anyone has posted this topic before, anyway, hope to leverage on the expertise of this forum. Can someone give me a brief overview of key components of a typical credit derivatives desk? Who are the players, who call the shots, what are the types of interaction between the front office , risk management group and the quant folks? Who do what and how does the whole desk fit together and work seamlessly? I am basically trying to understand the ecosystem.Is there an organization chart of a typical credit derivatives desk?What are the type of people employed for each section? What do they specifically? Eg. bootstrapping, modeling, database maintenance.What type of risk reports are generated and what are the key contents of such report etc.Show me the entire food chain etc...Who gets paid most and why? Thanks pal!Feel free to email me at bootstrapper100@yahoo.com

are you a a headhunter too?

you d better pay a lot of money if you want to get all this highly sensitive information...

Bootstrapper:Those who get paid most orthose who make most money will always be unknown to this world.the ecosystem you are trying to understand is so dynamic that it would have completely changed by the time you understood all of it if you don't know the food chain then always assume you are the bottom most node of it.
