I would say it depends on what your long term goals are, but you are shooting for IBD or something front office, I'd say the exit opps aren't all that great. But, like I always say, exit opps are what you make them, not what anyone tells you or what everyone else has done previously
To add to the person above...in terms of opps and mobility it depends on the bank and what their risk management culture is. Citi's risk management doesn't have too much credo but might be more important these days. JPM on the other hand treats risk ppl like front office even though it's not.
thanks yeahright. how will the work differ between credit risk and market risk? i actually don't know much about risk at all.
also, which option is better - blackrock institutional sales or citi global risk? i currently have an offer from blackrock, and know that i definitely like the buyside (had exposure through an internship at a BBAM this summer). the reason i'm considering other options at this point is because the blackrock offer isn't in NY, and i'd like to relocate to NY.

bump bump, same question! Have my interview on Monday!
bump again! i know it's been a year since the last person commented, but i have my superday next friday. what can i expect from the interview?
and is risk considered back office?
Considered a true middle office function across the board.
Best groups are credit risk or market risk. Stay away from country risk.
Exit opps are limited but know a couple who have made the jump to S&T from market risk. Know one guy who went buyside from credit risk.

Citi - Risk Management (Originally Posted: 02/10/2010)
Hey guys,
I have an upcoming interview with Citigroup risk. Does anyone know anything about Citi's risk management division?
http://www.oncampus.citi.com/careers/north_america/corporate_functions/…
Specifically: interview questions, group culture, advancement opportunities, etc.
Also I'm curious if its considered back office or middle office work? Or maybe somewhere near front office depending on which division?
Anything info is appreciated. Thanks.
middle office. expect stats/prob questions (know ur var, how to calculate it etc.)
No one got any of that. It's all fit.
