my gf crossed over from sales (corporate) to compliance.
she shared with me her sales exp helped cos when onboarding companies, she has to do alot of KYC of all areas and sometimes when the internal bank system fail the first level of check, the sales folks/RMs have to write detailed supporting reports with alot of background work to seek clearance.

Does corporate sales pay better or compliance in her opinion?

there was definitely a pay cut initially as there is no commission for compliance. however she said the overall package did get better after awhile and has surpassed sales now. moreover, pay for compliance is more stable, it is less stressful than sales and she gets to leave office earlier.

Kyc/aml is a small subset of compliance
Is she doing the real compliance or merely kyc screening

guys need your advice.

i'm doing regulatory work at a law firm now. around 5months. i heard this is a sure way to compliance in a bank but im not really keen in joining compliance. would my skills be relevant in some other department? i wanna break into finance if possible.

thanks!
