I would say it's a steep uphill battle to go from compliance to front office role right away. In order of hierarchy, the front office hires from the front office, followed by middle office (eg risk, transaction roles) followed lastly by back office roles such as compliance because there is hardly any skill transfer that you can bring from the back office to the front office. Depending on the front office function, that would probably mean markets knowledge, financial modelling skills or firm and industrial analytical skills.
