Basel will remain as a hot area at least through 2019. That's the target timeline for US banks to finish Basel III framework implementation and be in full compliance. If you develop expertise in Basel III within the next 3 - 5 years, you will have a very good shot for mid to senior level risk management jobs within banks. Believe the Basel III implementation timeline for Chinese banks should be similar. Just to give you some insider info, a SVP specializing in Basel back in 2011 made all the way to Managing Director within 4 years at top tier US bank. This promotion will probably take a business person at least 8+ years given s/he can deliver $20+ million revenue on yearly basis. Someone can argue that a risk MD makes probably half of what a business MD makes, but still.... MD dream a dream at least for me.
Big 4 presumably will have strength in advising credit risk management since it's pretty much driven by the financials, mixed with some industry sector and sovereign views. If you have a very solid understanding of how to advise the credit risk of individual or portfolio of corporate and maybe some industry knowledge, you will be well prepared to take some key banking functions such as senior risk manager covering some industry and corporate clients, or even as relationship bankers if you are comfortable with and have social skills for client relationship management.
Operational risk is a complete different animal. I didn't come from an Ops background, but by commonsense and my extensive work relationship with back office ops team, I think you can learn how a financial institution works and how the transactions are processed in back-end systems. You will be amazed how outdated / underdeveloped the systems are at some major banks. Your work as a consultant will be very frustrating initially, but as your experience grows, you will start understanding why things are like this and where are the opportunities of optimization. You can work for a bank as an Ops guy, or you can consider some fintech firms which develop system for the banks to optimize their operations. |
