Ex colleagues' banks outsourcing compliance function outsourcing to India.

Quite rattled however still getting interviews albeit in non compliance roles and slight haircut due to extensive IT exp and background handling dataset projs
Not true. KYC may be easily outsource-able, but getting into compliance /managerial-checker roles changes the ballgame... Also sanctions teams of most banks is a good niche to get into and pays well.

mind to further elaborate? does this apply to all aml roles? i believe for kyc/ops/cdd roles they are increasingly moved to lower cost locations. However, for some 2nd line roles such as investigations (STR filing), advisory and testing which are more value-adding still retains in sg

But what's your current experience in? Guessing 6-8 years? Based on your comment im getting the feeling you're in 2nd line account opening role at a big bank. If so, its unlikely you'll get a VP role at a smaller outfit which requires a far broader range of experience, including regulatory liaison.

If your background is on policy/governance, your probably can get a VP role at a shitty bank.

There's just too many folks with 5-10 years 2nd line experience doing BAU stuff like account opening / periodic review / investigations. If you have leadership experience it'll improve your odds.

VP at a bigger bank in a BAU role is possible, especially if hiring bank has recently re-orged. I think asking for 140k would be feasible if such a role requires managing people.
