Final round interview...with a risk manager?
Gunning for an analyst role at a major fund, coming from a few years in a LO.
First few rounds were with PMs and fairly predictable, just talking about the strategy, developments in relevant names etc. Felt like I had it in the bag, but now I just heard there's a final round with someone from the risk management team.
What sort of topics do you think will come up? I don't have a trading background, nor do I interact with risk in my current role, honestly have no idea what they'll ask about.
Well do LOs even have risk departments? Especially risk departments who have an actual say? I imagine risk in a LO is mainly a reporting function?
Assumption is this just a culture check and very likely this person in risk is close to or reports up to someone who is close to the CIO. CIO does not have time to chase down everyone always so risk is their communication tool. That all said, this is nothing to worry about just a typical culture check.
Thanks, that's reassuring. Was worried I'd have to brush up on VaR and all that. So basically, just to see how I might fit in with the team rather than test anything technical?
For the love of God, do brush up on VaR and "how would you think about factors".
Amazed you're relying on "hope as a strategy". It's in his damn title, this should not be an HR-type of interview.
Best case I'm wrong, but if I'm right, you will feel like an idiot you didn't spend an hour thinking about these things ahead of the interview.
