Hi all, I currently work in energy policy research and I'm interviewing for a Senior Climate Risk Analyst position at a top US bank, sitting within the broader Risk vertical.

This feels like a pretty niche space, and I haven't found much material out there on what these interviews actually look like. Would really appreciate input from anyone who's been through this process (or works in the field) on:

What kind of questions come up — technical, scenario-based, behavioral, or a mix?

- Key concepts/frameworks I should be rock solid on (physical vs. transition risk, scenario analysis, stress testing, etc.)

- Good resources — papers, courses, reports — worth going through before the interview

- Anything that surprised you in your own interview for a similar role

Any pointers, war stories, or reading lists would be hugely appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Our cook is available to prepare the most amazing North/South Indian food for one household.

If you live anywhere around the Diamond Garden (our residence) or Godrej in Shell colony (near our cook's residence) and need a cook, you could get the best cook available in the area!

I left my hometown 7 yrs ago and have never treasured a cook more than this. She literally makes better than what we get in our homes (never admitting to mom), and better than most eateries I've been to! Super adept at finding the best YouTube recipes of the dishes you ask her to prepare and cooking the most delicious homely food.

Background:

We were living in Blue Diamond right beside Diamond Garden and that's where our cook had 2 jobs (including ours), and now since it's going under redevelopment and people are vacating, she is available to take up one house.

TL;DR: Our amazing cook has a slot open for one household in the Shell Colony/ Diamond Garden area. DM for details.

Hi Folks,

Am working as a deals desk risk analyst at Trafigura's Mumbai office (energy desk) for about a year now. Role is mostly reporting and hedge execution, yes we can debate how much a DD analyst actually influences hedging decisions, but honestly it's 5% of the job on a good day. The rest is repetitive systems work. Sometimes I wonder why they're paying me this much for what I'm doing, lol.

Anyway, the goal is to pivot to a commercial role, either within Trafi or somewhere else, and of course, open to relocating. I get that middle office/traffic is where you grind for a few years before getting a shot at a commercial seat, and I'm not trying to skip that. But with AI adoption looking increasingly inevitable in the next 2-3 years, I genuinely don't know how long DD headcount survives at current numbers, and that's stressing me out enough to want to act now rather than wait and see.

For people who've actually made this transition, what's the cleanest path from a DD/risk background toward a commercial seat? Where should I actually be concentrating my energy right now, skills, exposure, internal moves, whatever it is?

Appreciate your input!
