It depends on the department. For example, some non-financial specific work like procurement, or consumer service, I hardly think it is high-paying in the private sector. If it's AML department, which is the trend now, then yes.

I did my own stalking on LinkedIn to see where ex-MAS colleagues went. An Assistant Director from the Insurance or Banking department can become a Manager in Insurance Broker companies, or insurance companies, or AVP in banks.

One of the Team Leads left MAS after 30 years, and can find a job in insurance companies immediately as consultant.
