How you handleyourself in situations involving risk - to the bank's money and clients'success - is critical. Your answer should show that you possess sufficientanalytical skills. This is best achieved by pointing to examples of situationsin which you managed risk in a deal. Enumerate any assumptions made during youranalysis on a transaction.
You can stand out by asking the interviewer how the bankapproaches risk as it relates to your role.
