I am currently seeking a job as a fraud/risk analyst for a bank and/or credit company. I don't really know where to begin, however. I have already applied and interviewed at Citi, and I have sent my resume to Chase. What are some more big name companies, or even smaller regional ones (MD-PA-VA-DC area) to consider and send a resume to?

I'm hoping to find a decent business job in this crappy economy. After debating (with myself) whether I'd pursue a generic business degree which comes highly recommended both by peers and most career sites I've been on or go bold with a much-harder Economics degree, I finally decided to go with the latter. Exactly what kind of jobs could I land with an Economics degree? Is it even advisable to pursue it?

I know that you can get almost any job with a Mathematics degree, and I also that Mathematics graduates have the LOWEST levels of UNEMPLOYMENT, but which jobs can they get exactly? Specific details please? I know that you can be a maths teacher/lecturer, and that's obvious, but I really don't want to go into teaching. I also know that you can have a job in Finance and Accounting, but they are also obvious.

I'll be graduating with an engineering degree (Comp Eng.) and rethinking my career options. One of them is working in a bank. As far as I know, the backoffice is the most stable but lowest paid but still the starting salary as a grad is higher than most engineering jobs. How would my career advancement be like? I'm concerned about the kinds of responsibility and working hours as well. I'm kind of interested in the trading desk. What are the qualifications I would need to get there?

I've been thinking about joining a federal agency for some time now, whether it be DEA, FBI, CIA, or whatnot. As a college junior majoring in history, I was just wondering whether I'd be qualified for such a position, and what type of work it would entail. Is it necessarily of the same high-risk profession as seen in "NCIS" or "24" with all the office drama and intrigue, even if I'm not deployed on the field? And would having a career in the public sector be beneficial if I plan to go into public policy doing more analytical work?

Hi, I have 5 questions. Could you please answer them for me? The following is part of a job description of Risk Analyst of a retail bank’s risk department. (for Q1-3) [Risk analyst (RA) will be responsible for the development and execution of the risk strategies that will assist our key business partners achieve growth and profitability targets while maintaining the overall risk quality of our retail lending portfolios. Business partners include, Unsecured Lending, Indirect Lending, Real Estate Secured Lending and Small Business Banking.] Q1. I am pretty new to banking, and I do not understand its definition of “Business partners” . I thought what were described as Business partners in the above description should be “Business PRODUCTS/ DEPARTMENTS” instead? How a risk analyst could “partner” with “unsecured lending, indirect lending, real estate secured lending and small business banking” which I believed them to be PRODUCTS/ DEPARTMENTS? I thought business partners should be retail consumers (people), and/or institutional clients (other banks; like one should decide if Bank A should lend to Bank B?) Please correct me. Q2. In addition, I thought retail lending portfolios include “Unsecured Lending, Indirect Lending, Real Estate Secured Lending and Small Business Banking” instead of Business partners include them? But obviously, here says maintaining Retail Lending Portfolios is another responsibility in addition to assist our key Business Partners achieve growth and profitability targets. Q3. How RA could help key Business Partners achieve growth and profitability targets (sounds like sales to me) while I believed his/her job is to analyse if a bank is bearing too much loans? Another job description: [Support customer segmentation development that improves the underwriting process, enhance the portfolio’s risk-reward profile and are within the bank’s risk appetite] (for Q4) Q4. Does this mean RA should help assess the eligibility of a customer to receive their products? I found wiki definition on Underwriting is Underwriting refers to the process that a large financial service provider (bank, insurer, investment house) uses to assess the eligibility of a customer to receive their products (equity capital, insurance, mortgage, or credit). Q5. How to forecast loss rates, approval rates, response rates, utilization rates, and credit quality? Thank you very very very much in advance!!!
