sorry guys for the late response... was pretty hogged at work...
As far as the questions in this forum go, i can only answer the to the extent i have gathered info .FRM is a an examination conducted by GARP which is an association of risk professionals . Its conducted once a yr in the month of Nov, and supposed to be pretty tough with pass percentage ~ 30. Unlike CFA it has no or very little accounting portions. Mostly related to market risk management.

I have spoken to ppl around and also garnered that since FRM entails lot of risk management stuff, it is more closer to the trading front office systems and trading jobs.. I cant comment on the salary which an FRM degree will command as i have no idea abt it....

For more details check out the garp website
