Hey guys! I am starting a new position as risk manager next week and am slightly nervous. Do any other risk managers have any pieces of advice they are willing to share about making a smooth transition into this role?

I understand the feeling! I transitioned into a risk manager role a few years ago, and the biggest piece of advice I can give is to take your time getting to know the team, the processes, and the culture. It's also important to remember that everyone makes mistakes, so don't be afraid to ask questions and seek help when needed. Lastly, try to have a positive attitude and be proactive in taking on new challenges - you'll be successful in no time!

Try not to do anything too risky!

Ha ha ha very funny. I would stay on top of recent news and trends that could impact your line of work. Find the news sources you like and read daily. I would also try to network with other risk managers in other businesses in your same industry to find out what best practices are out there. Good luck man!

Considering pivoting into a local MM IB. As my title suggests, my technical skills aren’t as honed as one who has focused on the analysis route. How much of being an Analyst at a smaller IB is technical skill heavy coming into the role? I hold my 7, 66, 24, and am not worried about getting the 79. Any input for how realistic this is? When looking at one particular firm’s career page it doesn’t mention technical skills or modeling once, which led me to believe it may be less important than soft.

Stay or go ?

I'm at an early stage tech start up and gaining experience in an industry that I like. However, I am getting no formal training or sales coaching. Everything I've done so far (Inc. Targeted marketing and prospecting) has been self taught and I feel like I am lacking professional knowledge if I was to move onto a different company, especially considering that I am not involved in the full sales cycle.
