So, I am not personally making a decision about either of these, but I have had this question a long time. Some risk management positions are advertised as quanty, model based, efficient frontier, VaR modeling positions. Others seem very operations based, trade monitoring etc.
Does anyone have any insight into the quantitative risk management exit ops, experience quality?

Risk management is exactly what it sounds like. You're managing risk. Some of it is quantitative, if you're on a trading book then you will have to look at VaR and try to manage the book's risk.
IMO, it's not that fun... The exit ops also aren't that great... As in, I haven't really heard of people exiting too much...
I'm in market risk and apparently, due to the financial crisis and reform, it's a rapidly expanding sector. my dep. is hiring probably 50 more ppl
