What advice would you give to someone applying to this role?
Think about what you want from your job, and whether working for the regulator will get this for you; if you want a profit driven, commercially minded job then this is not for you!
Consider your wider career path through the organisation. For example, there are great opportunities to second to Europe and consider whether this is something you want to do and why you would want to do it.
Make sure you are abreast of regulatory news - financial news will help you, but political news could help you more in some cases. Consider the wider macro-economic environment and the impact that this may have on the riskiness of the UK market.
Do you have any interview tips?
Come armed with a good question - this tactic has never failed me in interviews and makes you more memorable. Try something that might stimiulate a debate/discussion/explanation of the FCA view on a topical issue that has shown you have done your homework/are interested in a speciifc area.
