Kinda disheartening. I have heard from recruiters that it is easier to enter this line through doing maybe a ops role and get some experiences before jumping into this line. Not sure if this is true. Anybody who can shed some insight regarding these issues? Or perhaps you know of any openings at your workplace that you can recommend to me? Thanks in advance!

you can get thru this either as a RM (handling CDD/KYC) or Project Management / Business Analyst role. The former gets much higher chance as AML team normally work closely with RMs for RFI, etc so you can slowly transition in. PM/BA path takes a bit more time but you will get into much senior role.
what i can see right now is that low level AML resources (e.g. clearing screening alerts, etc) are too abundant and hard to compete.
