Personally, I do not like a standalone position. Compliance is a complex topic with evolving standards and regulatory expectations. If you only have a few years of experience, you would not have sufficient knowledge and experience to properly advice the business, and you will be limiting your personal knowledge and growth. The risk of non-compliance is high, and Singapore is a very small market. If you messed up in a company, words spread fairly quickly and your future career path is down the toilet. You should only take on the role if you have a very strong network of individuals doing similar roles as you, so that you can discuss issues and bounce concerns with each other.
