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!

I’ve been at a job for a few months and hate it - partners set unrealistic deadlines, micromanage, and create work that truly is not necessary/push urgency when there is no real urgency. I had other offers prior to accepting this job that may still be options, and going back to my old job (for a pay cut) might also be an option. I can’t tell if this is just burnout, growing pains, or just an untenable work environment. Would you ride it out for a year at new job or pursue other options? HELP!

I had applied to a new grad role so O think I can’t negotiate on the role?

While the market is cheaper in some respects, housing is not. How far can I expect this firm to go to in terms of compensation? Any negotiation tips?

It’s very discouraging to continuously receive these rejection emails. With 9 years of supply chain experience, I am not sure why I would not be able to at least get an interview for entry level roles that require no experience. Not just this one pictured but others as well. I’ve applied to maybe 60 positions since May, both mid level and “entry” and no interviews. I’ve had my resume professionally re-written twice. Not sure where the disconnect is. Anyone else going through this same thing?
