Yes. KYC is a general compliance route and is highly diversified into other area of compliance. Have friends going into advisory, sanctions or compliance control after 2,3 years so i think its possible. I am in the industry and KYC is highly sought after now since i am always getting calls for recruiters offering me 20-30% increment. Like my current work place so i did not take up those offers. I would say KYC is a good first step into compliance advisory but hard work is required.
