I've been asked a few times in different IB/investment related roles to give an example of a time I've taken a risk. I've always had a hard time coming up with a good one, not because I have never taken a risk, but because I don't really know what they are looking for. Does anyone have any insight into this or can share an example of a sample answer that could work?
