Ya agree. I was making 6k when I was 30 just 3 years ago and it's considered high in Compliance. It's impossible they are all making 8-10k nowadays with so many negative news.

excl bonuses. 8950 is incl of my mthly fixed allowance (couple of hundred). for my case it isn't the "norm".... like i said in my previous post i didn't just sit quietly there and the monies just starting falling down like rain.... i worked my ass for it. change projs, regulatory inspections, etc - you name it. oh btw i think its obvious enough that i dont work in a big bank like many of the big boys here do.

What type of role are you doing now? I can tell that you met the right mentors and opportunities.

i am in the FCC space.. cant reveal exactly the things that im doing else its really easy to figure out where i work / who am i...
just gonna put it this way.... the "special" things that i was doing were not supposed to be handled by someone of my level at that point in time... but due to some special circumstances no one was willing to take it up at all... so i did... those things eventually gave me enough bargaining chips to re-nego again my package and helped me to pushed for a big pay jump 1 yr ago... not as much as the gentleman who had >30% through an internal trsf... but close...
again i stress - i dont work in a big bank but i have heard stories about how the salaries are being pegged in some of those institutions.

I wonder why will people be un willing to take up the special things for exposure etc.
Would you want to remain in FCC ? I have been in KYC for 5 years and wanted to know if it is possible to switch over to FCC.
I am happy with my current role but may want to change to something different in future.

Never too late to start but this is an industry which heavily favours those who are “experienced”, though not many r worth their weight in salt. Or also depends on how quickly you pick things up, in which organisation and whether your boss favours you.
If u r talking about aml compliance typically most starters will start off with transaction monitoring at big organisations, which is also the very ops like of it. U look at clients transactions for potentially suspicious activity, and u usually have a monthly quota to meet.
Or depending on the set up you may need to bao gar Liao, i.e client reviews/risk assessments transaction monitoring blabla. Such opportunities are better for growth but teams are usually very lean and small footprint.
Another area which is somewhat related are what you call kyc Analysts who do not sit with the aml compliance function, and deal more with client documentation requirements/matters. There is some carryover but I do not see this an area you should venture into for it is quite different from actually performing aml assessments or investigations
