IB Risk Interview

Hello monkeys, I am a junior at a semitarget and received 2 interviews later this week for investment banking credit risk SA programs at top BBs. I did a cold resume drop online for these positions and really don't know anything about them other than what is written on the website, so can anyone point me in the right direction on what these programs entail, the interview process, what I need to know in general, what they are looking for, good questions to ask the interviewer, etc.

sorry for my cluelessness, I have been mainly focusing on tradition IB in my interview prep. thanks for your help.

 

I would go into the interview process as if it were an ib interview, but with the question why are you interested in credit as opposed to IB and other paths. You can say that credit is a solid foundation regarding the company's operations, it's ability to repay debt, learning about the industry in detail, etc. If you're familiar with what Moody's/S&P does, you will be doing similar analysis in a risk group at a BB.
