Interview for Risk Management Analyst, Exam included
So I recently got an interview with Pavilion Financial for a risk management analyst position. I don't know if I'm really prepared for the interview especially cause they said there would be an exam included which would test my logical reasoning (not too worried) but also my excel skills (worried, haven't really used excel much since college).
If anyone wants to be a lifesaver, can you please direct me to some quick resources on risk management so I can sound smart in the interview. Also if they have any links to brush up on excel relating to risk management that would be ideal. I only have a couple days so it can't be any dense material, really just looking for some advice and maybe some resources to utilize in the mean time.
Here's an excerpt from the job posting about technical proficiency that I'm not to familiar with:
o Explicit understanding of GAAP as it relates to an investment environment
o Ability to perform IRR and multiple calculations, benchmarking measures, and other financial analyses

Try checking out the Financial Stability Institute, they have a lot of good articles/papers on various topics surrounding risk management
Thanks, how about the excel side?
would guess the CFA institute would have some answers.
Risk management interview? Help. (Originally Posted: 10/28/2014)
I'm a recent graduate who landed a FT at a well known Asset Management firm in ER, despite this I've been looking at every IBD opening I can find since that is where I really want to be. Along the way I've been offered an interview for credit risk at a very well known boutique that has average salaries well beyond where I'm at right now.
What can I expect to be asked when it comes to technicals?
Considering my plan is to go to b-school would I be better served to stay where I am?
Is the prestige of the new firm and higher salary worth taking what is essentially a MO position?
Why am I even being given interview offers like this if I applied to drastically different teams? Is this typical? Or its it the case that my resume was very uncompetitive for IBD so another team decided to interview me instead?
Anyone? Interview date just got moved up to Friday. So far I'm focused on bonds and financial statement analysis but if there are popular topics for risk interviews lmk.
I'll PM you.
can you PM me with insight as well please, I am interviewing for a RM position within the next week or so. Thanks!
Bump. I have a RM interview coming up. What to expect?
Differences among market, operational, and credit risks. Current risk and regulations affecting the financial market (basel3, etc). VaR
Blast from the past!
Thanks to SSits for helping me out.
Use the WSO IB guide even though it is not an ib interview.
Like mentioned know the types of risk and learn VaR. If it is at a firm where risk is very close to FO know your sources of systematic and non systematic risk; know your Greeks.
Depending on the team know what kind of model they may use and what the main drivers of the model are. For example; do you know the general main drivers of credit risk in xyz product our firm sells? How would you find out? You'll likely get a different version in a market risk role.
If this is for fulltime some places might ask about your programing abilities. (Firm specific but usually VBA, SQL, SAS, and some others you'll know a lot more about than me.)
If this is for a summer analyst you should be well prepared just knowing the WSO guide, reviewing Greeks (calculate beta, alpha etc...try to learn the basic definition of the ones in Black-Scholes and stop there), and know VaR. My risk interviews were all easier than IB and ER for what its worth.

I have a risk management SA phone interview coming up with a very large asset manager (think Fidelity, Pimco, AllianceBernstein). Any clue on what I can expect? (how to best prepare?)
Greatly appreciated
