Description
This package is for market, credit, and model risk candidates who have an interview coming up and want to walk in fully prepared. In our first session, we'll go through the likely questions and topics for your specific role and target firm, covering both technical content, such as risk sensitivities, VaR and stress testing concepts, and model validation questions, and behavioral fit. After the session, I'll send you a written list of topics and materials to focus on before the mock. In our second session, we'll run a full mock interview covering both technical and behavioral questions, with direct feedback on your answers and how you present them. I spent 20+ years across market risk, model risk, and trading at UBS, Deutsche Bank, and J.P. Morgan, including heading a twenty-person global model validation team, and I've interviewed hundreds of candidates and hired dozens across these firms. My feedback reflects what a hiring manager in risk is actually listening for. Two 60-minute live video sessions, one week apart or on a timeline that suits your interview date, plus a written list of topics and study materials sent by email after session 1. Service Time: 2 hours live. 1 hour offline (question list and study materials)

Former Trading MD at UBS & Director of Model Risk at Deutsche Bank
I've worked on both sides of risk management. As Director of Model Risk at Deutsche Bank, I headed a twenty-person global team of model validators covering rates, FX, equities, and commodities, working closely with regulators during supervisory reviews in London, New York, and Singapore. I later moved into valuations and market risk, doing independent price verification on complex derivatives portfolios alongside front office, financial control, and internal audit. Before that, as a Managing Director running a derivatives trading desk at UBS, I sat on the trading side that risk teams oversee, so I understand both how risk decisions get made and how they land with the desk. I coach candidates targeting market risk, credit risk, and model risk roles, as well as model validation and valuations control positions. I focus on the technical questions these interviews actually test, including risk sensitivities, VaR and stress testing concepts, and how models are validated and challenged, along with how to present a risk background clearly and confidently in interviews You may notice I don't have reviews here yet. I joined Leland last year but only started actively coaching on this platform this month, since most of my time until now has gone into consulting work and interview coaching elsewhere, where I've built a track record of 25+ five-star reviews and a top 5% job offer rate with past clients. If you'd like a sense of how I work before booking a package, the free intro call is a good place to start.
