So I am finishing up my masters in cybercrime, and I have a bachelors in criminal justice. How do you feel about a career path in fraud and AML. Is it worth it? How’s the pay? I would want to eventually get my CAMS and CFE. Also what about compliance? Thoughts on FINRA?

How many MDs in banking got started in compliance?

Play the long game and understand what the path looks like.

I got into the financial crimes field after getting my master’s in criminal Justice. I’ve been on this path for about 5 years and have worked in both fraud and AML. I have my CFE credential. Personally I prefer AML to fraud — more interesting, varied case typologies and more directions you can go in. I love my job but I’ve been lucky to have mentors who have championed me and helped me move into the type of work I wanted to do. Some jobs in this industry you can get stuck doing boring or repetitive work and it’s hard to get out of it because the bank is swamped and needs someone doing that job to meet BSA requirements. The pay depends a lot on the institution.

How can I sell my 2 years of clerkship as valuable experience for corporate work? I would like to get credit for at least one year (at least in salary, if I can’t in seniority). I know for litigation they are more clearly valued and linked to that type of work, but I have reconsidered my interests and now am thinking of going into corp. However, I don’t want to feel like I wasted 2 years clerking (which I don’t feel like that, but I have to convince an employer of that too). Any help or insight?
