If u r talking about aml compliance typically most starters will start off with transaction monitoring at big organisations, which is also the very ops like of it. U look at clients transactions for potentially suspicious activity, and u usually have a monthly quota to meet.

Or depending on the set up you may need to bao gar Liao, i.e client reviews/risk assessments transaction monitoring blabla. Such opportunities are better for growth but teams are usually very lean and small footprint.

Another area which is somewhat related are what you call kyc Analysts who do not sit with the aml compliance function, and deal more with client documentation requirements/matters. There is some carryover but I do not see this an area you should venture into for it is quite different from actually performing aml assessments or investigations
