Self studying Risk

[garryy]

I am an incoming analyst at a bulge bracket IB in the risk division. I am a fresher and have around a month of free time before joining. I wanted to know if there are some good resources, either books or online courses, which are definitely worth reading before I break into my first job. I see that there are a lot of resources given in the Risk Management Resources but I needed some help and guidance in what should I focus on in the next one month for a better understanding, once my job starts.

Thanks.

Edit: I don't have a finance background. I am an electrical engineer with decent math skills.

It depends, are you going to work in India or in the West?

I would reach out to the hiring manager and pose the same questions.
