Very nice ! Mind if i ask , how often do you hop around?

[gwk]

Can I ask with all the job listings around looking for at least 5 years experience in AML position, how does switch to a career in AML. I have an engg degree but I'm currently doing a diploma in AML, but I'm not sure what are the better options for me to venture into AML.

Any advice are appreciated.

I also want to find our more about aml and compliane jobs. I have accepted a compliance executive job in a local insurance company, but just got an offer of a AML role in a big foreign bank. Both offer the same basic salary, I dun know which one to choose.

My end goal is to do compliance in a bank. is it easy for me to change from insurance company to banks after a couple of years? or should i take this AML job, but would it be too specialized alr?

pls advice, many thanks!

I see some big numbers here, not sure how accurate it is though.

Anyways ! reviving this dead thread -

Some bckground introduction: I am currently in my mid 20s, holding on to a AML job under my bank's grp compliance doing trade finance (sanctioned elements related,pre-approval of cross border transaction,etc) , transaction monitoring assessment for corporate client's acc and AML controls of payments pertaining to markets products(FXMM etc) and corporate client's management screening plus probably will pick up some "KYC-onboarding skills" and data mining via SQL along the way. Basically, "bao sua bao hai" doing everything.

This is my first job but I am severely underpaid. Was looking around and asking some recruiters and senior colleagues, I should be getting somewhere near mid low to mid 3s as a freshie. Unfortunately, I am being paid only in the high 2s. My first month into the job, i kept getting calls from various recruiters / other banks which i've applied long before, saying that they could pay better 15~20% more of what im drawing currently provided I am accepted. I didn't bulge becoz i see extra value in the things im doing/learning now compared to the stuffs I will be doing had i been accepted into those jobs.

Fortunately (or unfortunately?), my manager and other indirect line managers are aware of this issue, and my direct mgr said he would push for a review of my package subjected to HOD and HR approval as it is too much of a disparity compared to other staff in our team.
Other manager advise me to start jumping after gaining a full year of experience if the review fails i would probably get a measly 3~5% base increment. (if the review passes, my pay should be adjusted upwards by 20% which is the norm bracket).

I don't know if i'm stupid or what. If I were to jump, which would be in early 2015 i guess? almost 1-1.5yrs of exp, can i be looking somewhere around high 3s or low 4s with all these things that I'm doing now?
Sorry for the lengthy writeup
