Guys, you must be out of your mind to think that a serious risk chief would settle for these figures. Maybe - as many - the risk types you look at are gentrified product controllers/accountants. Read the Risk Talent Associates surveys and you'll get a very different picture. Also, the current unforgiving market conditions are finally underscoring the dramatic difference between real risk people with trading experience and "risk counters", irrespective of the quant or acconting walk of life of the latter variety.
