I am new to the site, but have a question.  My quick background:  BBA from University of Texas-Austin, MBA Tulane University, CFA Charterholder, FINRA series 6,63,7 licenses - 12yrs of equity derivative trading experience, primarily listed equity options index futures, etf’s, at a cross-roads in my career, leaving my current firm, reached a plateau in trading - given the “credit crisis” and financial meltdown, I think there will be very good opportunities for “credit risk / risk managers”, so, I am looking at pursuing the FRM.....  as you know, MBA and CFA “highlight” the areas of credit risk, etc.  I understand the FRM exam is extremely difficult.  I would appreciate any advice on pursuing this and the career outlook for FRM… my stats. / quant background is not real strong, just not part of my current position
