Default AML roles

I'm 25 this year, the AML role that i will be taking on focuses on regional corporate banking around APAC. I'm aware that AML transactional related knowledge is the pre-requisite for compliance advisory. How long do i have to slog before i could make the jump? Some of my friends were telling me to hop every 1.5-2yrs at 20% increment each time ( is this even possible?)
Will having a ICA accredited diploma help boost my marketability? What sort of progression timeline am i looking at?

I wish some of the veterans in the finance industry could shed some light / or share their experience

Thanks

JP Morgan, I here, is setting up an AML hub in Changi and they need about 100+ staff. With the severe restrictions on EP coming up, you can expect a bonanza soon. good luck.
