Hi, I’m currently working as a paralegal for a bank and I am bored. Everything is so monotonous and slow, I feel under-utilized. The only time I am excited about work is when I’m helping the AML advisory team with requests so naturally I’ve developed an interest in AML especially DeFi and Crypto assets. I know it’s an emerging industry so I’d be happy to work in traditional AML for a fund or another bank.
Would love to hear from people who left the legal field for compliance work.
