#1

I am working as a Financial Analyst (FP&A) … Budgeting, Forecasting, Creating Cash Flows, Valuation etc… I can code (intermediate level) in Python, VBA and know Tableau

I would like to know what transferable skills should I highlight to get a Market Risk (I am more interested in this) or Credit Risk Analyst position.

Apart from CFA/FRM are there any other certificates that would help in this transition?

Thanks

Do you understand the products that you are doing accounting on, and can you advise effectively on how to manage risk on those positions? That’s the primary applicable skill for this job. Anyone can learn coding. Product knowledge is much more rare.

Thank you for the reply. Quick follow up question. How do I gain knowledge on products?
