I cant see a future here with all the op bits getting offshore and I have no desire to move into a leaders position managing offshore teams and like I said I hate the 'another-widget-off-the-belt' feeling associated with operations.

Would appreciate some advice on how long I should stay and what to do to position myself for a more mentally stimulating role.

Thanks
Dont worry too much about the current jobscope. You got to start from somewhere. Nobody is going to hire you into an compliance advisory role fresh out of school.

Make use of your time now to interact more with the front office, and demonstrate how you can add value. Network more and make yourself more visible and try to understand other parts of the business well. Like you said, there are 50-70 of you, try to think of ways to make yourself more outstanding.

In the end, moving up to the next level depends a lot on who you know.
