Do you mean AmL only or also include other area of compliance?

Mind sharing the reason why? AML roles appear to continue to be in demand, minus those that can be offshored such as transaction monitoring, KYC, etc

high demand yes, but after u hit associate level you will find yourself stuck with useless skillsets to jump anywhere else.

Is it a bad idea to stick it out in the AML field then? Climb the ropes and get into mid level mgmt / TL role at VP level (12-15k p.m) or D (20k and up)

There is a very high chance you won't make it to VP / ED level. These positions require you to lead more than just the AML function.

What more other than the AML function? What does a VP / ED typically oversee?

12 to 15k can lead a small team already. Just that you don know which company.

Agree, where I’m at, 12-15k can be solo contributor with no direct reports below

AML VP usually oversees the Sales function and sometimes governs what decisions Executive Office can make (e.g. hiring which CEO or CFO etc.).

You're absolutely ****ing clueless. There are plenty of AVP-VP team lead roles in banking that are purely AML.
