Well, I have an interview tomorrow for a Big 4 in a quant risk position as a soon-to-be graduated student, and this was perfect for me to establish a plan of preparation !

I am starting in this work later in life, so your information is very useful

[Ardkorr]

Thanks for this excellent entree into FRM - well done!

Thank you so much. I am studying industrial engineering, and this was helpful.
Do you suggest any interesting project topic for a bachelor student?

Hey Ryan, thanks for the info! I have a question: Is the degree in finance really important in terms of having a good knowledge or being good in risk management? I feel like a lot of the things are outdated (depends on the school) and you can learn so much and faster yourself thanks to the internet.

Also, without a degree, do you think it is worth it to go for FRM and/or CFA anyway?

[kelleykid]

Do you think long term that risk management will experience more growth as an industry/career? Feels like Covid, Russia/Ukraine, broken supply chains, etc. have shown how important risk management is today for business continuity

Firstly I am so glad for finding this video and hello Ryan I am an undergrad in commerce but I have always wanted to work in a risk management role, luckily enough as soon as I finished college I started working in one of the biggest MNC's in a risk management role. Now I want to study a masters course in UK in risk management, since that is a masters course and FRM is a professional certification(which I have wanted to do since college), is there a major difference in either from a job perspective or do I still need to do FRM after doing masters in FRM from a professional viewpoint?

[kollantevarghese]

Thanks for wonderful informative video brother. Requesting an answer. I am working in Oman working as an inventory-purchase admin and earning 10 lacs per year . I have done master of commerce 5 years back . If I do frm now will I be getting a job in Canada or UK as a fresher or do I have to get 2 years of experience as a trainee ?

What are the all risks affecting the financial system??

[moniqueanthony]

If you have a background in medicine but you are actually passionate about finance, would getting certification in FRM be a good way to start switching careers?
