Product Control Derivatives Desk Interview | Product Control Interview in Investment Bank

Описание: Product Control – Derivatives Desk Interview Preparation by candimentor

If you are preparing for Product Control or Derivatives Desk roles in an investment bank, this video is built exactly for you. candimentor explains how derivatives are valued, risk-managed, and explained on the trading floor — the way interviewers actually expect.

This is not textbook theory. You will learn how to explain MTM, daily P&L, Greeks, volatility surfaces, correlation, IPV, model risk, valuation adjustments, and how to challenge trader marks with confidence in interviews.
