almost impossible to make this lateral movement, but some areas for you to explore to increase any chances at all include - (1) reading up internal credit risk policies to familiarise, (2) chat/talk to ppl in (or close to) credit risk to further gain insights and (3) actively look for junior / entry-level risk roles (or leverage point 2 to have them refer you when the opp arises).

Hello all! I will be graduating in Dec 2024 (local top 3 unis), with an upcoming summer internship (3 months) at a local broking firm, and prior internships/part-time roles in a local bank + local corp sec firm amounting to ~1+ to 2 years of CDD/KYC (document checks, screening) experience.
How much should I be asking for upon graduation? Just in case the broking firm decides to convert me.

Oh forgot to mention that this 3 month role will be transaction monitoring + analytics + regulatory compliance + SOP building

At least 4k and up. How is the bonus structure like in the firm?

Hello everyone,

Has anyone taken the ACAMS Singapore AML Regime Exam this year? Could you share your experience with the difficulty level and any tips for preparation? Is it highly recommended for those seeking to work in a bank? Additionally, does anyone have access to mock exams or practice materials they could share?

How’s the job market for the aml/compliance field lately? Been seeing a number of both junior and mid level roles (aftermath of bonus payout?)

32F avp level now drawing 110k base now looking for my next move to VP level. What’s an acceptable number to ask for?

Am currently doing admin/loan underwriting job in a sme fintech. Trying to get into AML but no bank seems to want to hire entry level or junior role for foreigners, i am malaysia. Have tried to shoot many resumes but no reply.

Masters and sifus, pls help if you have any insights on how to join, feel free to criticise as well. I am also considering doing ACAMS but if i cannot land a job in AML seems like a waste
