probably not the right place for such a question, considering this is a forum about careers in quant fin...I am a business analyst in IT (finance & energy sector) for the last 10 years. I did a MSc in LSE Finance and Econ from 5 years back. I would really want to go into risk management though little background in risk management.I'm trying to do a FRM/PRM exam to get myself more relevant in the field.Does anyone know of any good ways for a mid-career changer with a background like mine to enter into risk management?And is there any other suggestions in terms of study etc that I could do in order to make myself more sellable in this area?

Business analysis for risk management systems might be a good way in, though it can be like nailing jelly to a wobbly wall with a rubber hammer and elastic nails. If you can find a role that sits closely with the "business" unit (rather than being buried in IT) then that would obivously help. FRM / PRM might be useful. If nothing else, the reading lists would be good background. You would probably need a very good head hunter to get you straight into a risk management job.

Thanks for the message. Do you know of any good head hunters in town for risk management?Thanks.

Princesses don't work.

Which town? And read some of the other threads on this topic.

Town = London.I will check out other threads too. Not to worry if you don't have any useful info on this.

many firms see risk management as a non-specialist discipline ie middle office, there are one or two that are specialist in risk management - Elliott Ross Associates is one, I think that GRS is the other.
