What salary are you realistically expecting to earn?

Anyone know the average wage for a science teacher at secondary school (including sixth form) some 10 years after getting your PGCE?

See. Middle-class manifestations. Being non-PC, lol, Indian (?) doctors and BMW M3s... I have no idea why they love that particular car so much. It's too mainstream for my liking. Job satisfaction? Unheard for me, I'd rather sit at home, play videogames and be on benefits, then do a job that'll pay me no more than £30k for the rest of my life, frankly. So anyway... Are you able to get work experience (big barrier for medical applications I believe)? Will a family member provide it if so? Not having a go good luck, but want to see if even for medical students barriers to entry are affected by opportunities and socioeconomic class, and so social mobility's ****.

Just a general point (not at you ruthless): with all my rants on cash, I must note my gross household income is £60k atm. So I'm by no means poor/disadvantaged, you'd have yourself believe. Except I really kind of am, if you knew me.

I agree with this, it's important to demonstrate a sense of foresight and prior planning with regard to any respect of your life. If you go about assuming the best consistently, when something negative and unexpected happens you'd be left high and dry.

Having said that you cannot be expected to plan for every possibly detrimental occurrence which may or may not occur in your life, because it takes too much time/effort than is reasonable (what if I die today? What if I get hit by a car next week? What if our National Healthcare System explodes and hospital beds aren't free for the public? Etc). I'm sure you agree.

£19,500

Lol

I got 19,000

(which is actually accurate in the jobs I am getting interviews for )

I'm 10 months out of University (23) and earning £95,000 working as a Compliance Officer in an Investment Bank - have a law degree and worked seriously hard getting jobs during my degree.

Not looking to boast merely educate - joined the site to give students an idea on what Compliance is like in practice as few know about it and its such a growing area now. Hoping to encourage other young people to join as there is too many old people atm!!!

I got told by a director at a workshop with Deutsche Bank compliance was a great field to go into. What are the chances without a law degree (mine should be economics, maybe with finance, management or history)? I heard it was more of a natural ability thing. Being able to give the details/legal details and constraints to a client, or something like that? He told us about Chinese walls and stuff like that.

If you had a choice, would you choose Compliance over IBD and why?

Well I'll be graduating in September 2019 if things go to plan, hopefully with an economics degree, possibly with history/finance/a joint thing, to make it easier/less competitive for me to get into a target university. I'm very much going to keep compliance in mind.

I'm 29 and work in the public sector.
Before I applied for my current jobs I emailed the two people I knew who could be interested and asked if they were going for it. There were more roles than them so I applied.
I'm on £49,400 with a payrise due in the next couple of months.
(no family connections at all)

The best thing about it is that its a job for life and its international as well so lots of travel. The Board at top investment banks are now so keen to get Compliance heard that we actually get an active presence their. They prefer law degrees for entry level roles however Economics degree is just as good from my personal experience. The law degree is preferred as there is a lot of reading up rules and regulations and working out how they apply to the business however if you have an analytical mindset and can demonstrate this you would be fine. Top Compliance contractors earn in excess of £1,500 a day and Heads of Compliance often earn around £200k+ with usually a 100% - 200% bonus if the team performs well but you also get a home life.... I work 7:30am - 4pm in London and its great when I get home and can spend time with the family.

It is very much about natural ability as well as some people have it and some don't - best bet to find out more is to get some experience as I did this during my degree so by the time I graduated I had a lot of exposure and knew it was right for me. Most firms take Compliance interns or even work experience students and if you show ability with basic regulatory work you soon get to do more interesting tasks.

There are many different areas of Compliance that you can specialise in but to get the most money / breadth of exposure a generalist role is best.

As an example in my role I do a bit of everything so I look at Financial Crime / Anti Money Laundering / Advisory - advising the business on policies and procedures and also regulatory changes you can also get involved in training and the monitoring side which is also quite interesting transaction monitoring listening to phone conversations and reviewing emails looking for dodgy dealing! Its all quite interesting for the right person!

Feel free to ask me more but I think you should be fine with at least a 2:1 degree and some form of internship / work experience to get you started. There are currently too many jobs and not enough goo Compliance people therefore now is a good time to get into the sector.
