Risk Positions in IM

Hello all,

Long time creeper, first time poster.

I'm currently a junior at a semi-target with a relatively average to above average GPA (think 3.5ish) looking over a few summer internship opportunities and finishing up some final round interviews. I currently have two super days coming in the Risk department of two mid-sized firms in the AM space. One is a fixed income investment advisory shop the other a much smaller macro-oriented hedge fund thats active in a few different areas.

My question is what is different about working in Risk Mgmt on the buy-side, specifically in the fixed income space? I've found a lot of information regarding Risk Management on the banking side of things but limited information on how these departments function at IM firms. Primarily, what sort of technical questions should I be expecting in these interviews(from what I've gathered I've studied primarily Var/Car, Historical analysis, beta & alpha and other basic metrics of portfolio risk) and how do the exit opps differ from those on the banking side? Also I should note I'm leaning heavily towards the FI opportunity just because of the size and wider name recognition of the firm.

Thanks in advance for the help, its much appreciated.
