Juniors in banking / finance - when to jump?
 

Hi all,

I graduated last yr and have since been working in a foreign wholesale bank (bout 9months as of now)..
I m an analyst in the compliance (financial crime) dept covering mainly everything about transactions monitoring / sanctions related matters pertaining to live trades / bits of KYC and other ad hoc stuffs. Basically, I m doing all the ground work (investigations / reports, etc) and sometimes things can get a bit boring.

As i'm coming to my 1 yr of employment, i wonder when can I start moving around to boost my pay? I m currently drawing $3.7K++ p.m , looking to break through the $5 - 6K ceiling hopefully before or by the time i reach 30. I m 25 this year, true blue singaporean male.

Guys / ladies in compliance or in banking in general, how long and how much exp do u all think is needed b4 we can start moving upwards in pay?

I would say to stay at least 2-3 years especially for your first job.
