is it wise to try to get CAMS certification on my own? I was interested i. getting an AML position. Could someone tell me what the average pay for an AML analyst is? I currently work in brokerage customer service making around $70k with bonus. I have my series 7 and 63 licenses as well.

Can you even take it without being sponsored by a firm?

An AML position pays about the same. I’d try to get an AML position and then take the CAMS. MS gives AML analysts 6~12 months to pass the exam after taking the position.

I would ask for no less than 75k for that particular role. I would also recommend getting the position first then taking the CAMS.

Imagine you're looking for a remote job at a large company with a sophisticated marketing function, strong manager, and room for growth.

It's remote, the salary is good, the manager is nice, but you'd be the most senior marketing person; the company is about 200 people. What would you do?

Looking at exits into pharma and biotech. Have an opp at a biotech at the SM level. Total comp excluding equity is around $190k; RSUs vest over 4 years with annual refreshers, so first year equity would be around $6,200 and it would go up by $6,200 each of the next 3 years, plus whatever base bump I get. Very good benefits package.

They envision 2-3 years before I jump either to AD or right to D. Solid opp? Or hold out to go straight to director level?
