My current salary is £75k in London doing AML/KYC at GS. I have 3 years of experience total. Do you think that's low, high or average?

Hi! I work in compliance at a company with headquarters in London. The cost of living there is so high that at first I thought the salary was low, but it looks like that's average after a little research. You could try to get a certification like the ones I posted below to use for negotiating higher pay or to get a better job.

https://www.acams.org/en/certifications/ckyca#recertification-ee3af6c0
https://www.int-comp.org/programme/?title=ICA-Certificate-in-KYC-and-CDD

Also, consider if KYC is what you really want to do or what your target career really is. The compliance market is hot right now and crypto companies are exploding (and offering high pay with remote work options so you wouldn't have to live/commute to London) and they will need KYC too but I haven't seen those more specific jobs getting posted yet, more Compliance Officer/Manager type roles in leadership and licensing. This comes with personal liability and crypto is still very much in flux and risky so it's a tough call. I have seen a lot of companies starting up or moving to London lately and have recruiters on LinkedIn constantly posting six figure compliance jobs. They're definitely out there! Both ICA and ACAMS offer many other certifications and certificates, some of which are free and could give you an idea of where your heart is. Good luck!
