First 4 roles were in AML transaction monitoring. Previous and current role are in AML Advisory. All in less than 5 years.

It is very doable if you started 4 to 5 years ago during the prime time of AML hiring. Not too sure if the current batch of fresh AML analysts can experience the same career path, as AML is not as "hot" as before.
Yeah we seem like peers that started out around the same time. Think experience level is more relevant as a benchmark compared to age, as I was grinding online poker exclusively for 2 years after i grad and earning probably even more than I am now! But story for another day.

Just curious do u have professional papers? And is your current place offering substantial variable bonuses as well? I literally just took 2.95 mths bonus and a promotion with increment of 11% which pushes me to sub 9k range. Im pretty sure im capped out right now on a experience vs pay scale... not sure what the market will be like when i look in 3-6 months time.
