(Corporate Banking) Credit Analysts: Am I f*cked if I don't know a single thing about Accounting if I enter a Credit Analyst position?

Hey folks,

Am interviewing for a Credit Analyst-type-position at a large Commercial Bank (not BB certainly a National Bank):

Recruiter said I'd be set-up to fail if I didn't know accounting principles

So, am I screwed going into the role

I'm the only "rookie" analyst, the rest of the people are "seniors" (disclaimer: I haven't gotten the role yet).

I'm worried that that might have an impact and that they're looking for me to "know everything" from Day1.
