I remember starting my career as a junior derivatives dealer.
The first stupid question I asked was why currency dealers use par-curve yield curve rates to compute FX Swap points?
No "#boostrapping"?
The Chief Dealer/ Head of FX Linear and Cross Currency Rates was not pleased.
Actually asking stupid questions early on in our career helps.
Provided you have a tolerable boss who can entertain stupidity.
But, if you ask questions which threaten your reporting line, then you are cooked!
Done.
Find your next job asap.
My CRO - Chief Risk Officer, was a banker who didn't know maths and statistics.
The man was a nightmare proposition for the academically tuned young graduates
Poor chap begged me to not bring my work to him because he could not check it.

Which is a better career option, an #MBA in finance or financial risk management?
I am not an admirer of the MBA Degree Program. So I think I should not be answering this question per se.

But, let me give it a try.
MBA is a professional qualification, unlike MA / MSc / MS / MPhil Degree programs.
How you will benefit from an MBA degree, is entirely up to your understanding of the challenges emerging in the workplace.
MBA Finance is neither a fish nor fowl qualification.
If you would like to learn financial theory, derivatives, risk and economics, you will be better off by doing a proper MS or MSc in Financial Economics or Applied Finance (Financial Engineering).
