I got 5.5 months, good performance grading for 2016.

Hello everyone!

I'm a soon-to-grad local uni with average acad results, with no experience in finance sector. But I managed to get a perm job offer in a local financial house doing back-end ops role, like trade settlements, with a starting pay of 3k. I'm not sure to take up this job and very concerns about job prospect in the future. But I understand I need to gain some experience in this sector first before moving on. Will this job provide me a stepping stone to compliance or other opportunities? Any bro or sisters can share your expertise! much appreciated!

My advice to you will be to search for a better option. Plenty of fresh grads that went into Settlements are stuck there, with no upside at all. There is little to no mobility in terms of changing functions.

Plenty of KYC/AML roles out there that will consider fresh grads. This is a much better stepping stone into the world of Compliance. I personally made the jump from KYC ops into Compliance Advisory. Good luck!

That's a pretty incredible figure. What position are you and is it a local or foreign FI/NBFI?

What is compliance advisory? KYC advisory? Sanctions advisory?

I am not in FI. In kyc/aml. Yes I think no other place has this much bonus.

No wonder. That's great for you then.

From KYC/AML ops, the most likely will be KYC/AML advisory obviously.

Most likely..obviously

You are such an entertainment

Dumb questions from you begets dumb answers.

Suck it up bud.
