I've heard compliance is really boring at the beginning but after awhile progression is bright...Corporate fraud - much progression?

In another forum I read pay for entry level compliance analyst in local bank is about 50kpa? so high for a boring job? can someone advise on this?

Some context: Fresh Grad/uk uni/2:1

which would you guys take...

I would go for corporate fraud, it opens interesting doors. Whether to govt (CPIB, CAD..) or even compliance advisory role in financial services. Compliance at the junior level is rather operational (performing tasks from a checklist which will bore the ambition outta you).. It's kinda a dead-end role when market reaches a saturation.

50k is pretty average... for local banks be prepared to accept lower.

anyone working as an institutional equity salesperson?

hows the remuneration like? thanks!

Hi guys,

Recently interviewed at a Jap bank for a middle office role and shortly after the final round of interview their HR asked the recruiter for my past 3 year bonus slips...so it seems that they may be working something out.

I had asked for at least $7.5k, up from my current drawn of $6k (~5 yrs exp in local bank). Do you think this would be a worthwhile hop if they do indeed get back with a comparable offer?

just want to know what is the jobscope in UOB as a personal banker? I have zero experience in finance industry.
Please kindly enlighten me. Thanks.

They have "unofficially" made an offer through the recruiter for $7k but with a 3 month sign-on. Trying to negotiate for a higher base (at least 20%)...

It seems to be a very good offer. How about the average bonus that you will be getting as compared to current job?

From various sources, it seems to be comparable (3-6 months). A bit worried about the culture fit though and prospects.
