Becoming a Derivatives Negotiator 2.0

Instant access · Watch at your own pace · CPD accredited

What's included:

• How I broke into banking from outside the traditional path (career pivots, networking without connections, and building resilience for the long game).

• What the job actually looks like day to day (sell-side vs buy-side, managing your inbox, pipeline meetings, and the 80/20 rule that beats working harder).

• How to run a negotiation from preparation to sign-off (the approval process decoded, and how to juggle several negotiations at once without dropping any).

• The internal politics nobody warns you about (stakeholder influence, reciprocity and language techniques, and how to take criticism constructively).

• Redlines that get taken seriously (developing your own mark-up style, and using colours, highlights and structure the way experienced negotiators do).

• Email etiquette in high-stakes exchanges (plus how to build your own negotiation playbook, so you're not starting from scratch every time).

• How to hold your ground without losing the room (asking direct questions, handling confrontation with composure, and finding your own professional voice).

• Answers to the career questions I get asked most (private practice to in-house, buy-side vs sell-side, difficult people, and whether AI is coming for this job).

This program is designed so you walk away with the perspective most professionals take years to develop.

What students are saying

Here's a look at exactly what's waiting for you.

Hi, I'm Edyta

I'm a derivatives lawyer, educator and entrepreneur — founder of Derivatives Lab and FIT Legal Ltd, and CEO of DeriviDoc.

With over a decade of hands-on experience at Credit Suisse — one of the world's leading tier-1 investment banks — and at Man Group, the world's largest publicly traded hedge fund manager, I've completed thousands of negotiations across ISDAs, GMRAs, prime brokerage agreements and more.

I built this program to give you the insider perspective I spent years developing — so you don't have to piece it together alone.
