Career switch
For career switch people, it is actually very possible to land a decent compliance role. I was a sole proprietor (no relevance to compliance) for 4 years before deciding to do a law degree. I graduated in june this year and landed a 3 month contract role. Was initially very hesitant about the 3 month contract as it was for a maternity cover and it was told to me from the beginning that the chances of being converted was low. Nevertheless, I wanted to get my foot into the door so I accepted the role, it was the best decision I have ever made.
After 1 month, they converted me to perm and told me that there was actually a headcount that was unfilled and even though they were actively looking for someone to fill the headcount, I did well enough for them to consider me and eventually offered me the job. After long drawn negotiations about salary, i'm currently drawing close to 80k pa all in.
