I was excited to see your work in FX structuring at RBC because the mix of macro views, client needs, and product design is exactly what I want to understand. In Citadel's FI & Macro challenge, I developed DSGEs and VAR models to model central-bank views and translated the scenarios into relative-value trade ideas. I'm trying to position myself for FX markets roles, especially structuring, and would be interested in how your team's ideation chain moves from a client objective or market view into a structured FX solution and desk discussion. If you had 10-15 minutes, I'd appreciate the chance to learn how that process works in practice.

I was genuinely interested to see your work in credit trading at RBC, particularly across Canadian investment-grade and high-yield markets. In Citadel's FI & Macro challenge, I built macro and rates models and translated central-bank scenarios into relative-value fixed-income trade views. I'm trying to position myself for credit markets roles and would be interested in how your desk's ideation chain weighs issuer fundamentals and liquidity before bringing client positioning into a trade discussion. If you had 10-15 minutes, I'd appreciate the opportunity to learn how that process works on the desk. Warm regards, Harman Singh h56singh@uwaterloo.ca Follow-up email subject Follow-up email Hi Jack, I wanted to follow up on my note about RBC credit trading. The question I am most interested in is how the desk moves from issuer and liquidity analysis into a trade idea that reflects client positioning.
