Thanks! What you said really makes sense but unfortunately i do not have the skillset or connections to make it out of ops.

My intention was to gain some accounting experience from product control and perhaps move into an accounting role outside banking. Is this a feasible option?

Also, are roles like settlements or documentation equally risky in terms of offshoring as well? I have seen banks offshore their BO roles from time to time
