To be honest, it really goes down to finding the right time and opportunity to jump, and jump often. If I have to point out my strongest skillset, I have to say it's my interviewing skills more than anything technical or work related. |

I have never heard of Compliance personnel being tasked for such matters. Pretty sure it's a clash in mandate. Compliance is strictly internal and not supposed to be client facing in any form. |

If I had to venture an educated guess, you are probably in B**U, am I right?
This bank is well known for lowballing employees. It is high time that you look out for other opportunities. |

MUFJ monthly salary is lower than others, but they pay relatively stable bonus of 6-8 months which is higher than other banks, so the total package is about the same. |

You'll be taking a big risk giving up your 3k perm job for a 2.5k contract AML job, which in another 2.5 to 3 years there is a high chance you'll still be a contract staff earnig 3k to 3.3k? This means that for your 5.5 to 6 years of experience you will be earning 3k+ only. This is an overrated industry that many naive fresh grads think is attractive. May seriously want to reconsider this industry altogether. |

Yes, KYC/Due Diligence is not the iron ricebowl that many think it is. A large proportion of the work can be outsourced to lower cost countries (Philippines, India in particular), and only some material work has to remain in Singapore due to MAS regulations. However, Compliance on the other hand can never be outsourced. MAS will never allow a regulated institution to port their Compliance function overseas. As far as I know, most AML teams reside within Compliance, unless it's the exceptional few teams which label themselves AML but is in fact doing KYC or other more operational work. As long as you are within Compliance, your job is safe. |

- advisory sure safe - Kyc unsafe - trans monitoring? - regulatory? - FCC safe oso? Thx bro |
