I was hesitant to take up this offer, my first thoughts are to take up this job and gain some experiences but i am not sure if there is any transferrable skills when i want to move to the banking side in future. Can anyone share some insight on this? Thanks in advance
You can still explore your options. But as a fresh grad, you must bear in mind that no one job is perfect.

If you give up this offer, how long will it take to get another?

For transferrable skills, some areas of compliance are niche and it is very hard to enter without specific experience for banking.

I started in banking and switched to payments industry.

Banking is a good training ground but in terms of salary and work balance, some industries are better.

As I look back after 6 years of working experience, I will not want to return to banking.
