this thread is very entertaining, i just registered with lowyat.net so that i can post comments ..i am also an ex CTSM AML analyst, hahahaha

Enclave, you leave too much clues abt yourself..i guess you must be from "Wxxxxxxxx" department?

i do agree with the comments stated in this thread...the good ones, and the bad ones.

actually, this job has good and bad side of it, depends on how you look at it..no job is perfect, just like in life...nothing is perfect..

this job is very mundane, tedious and DAMN boring..no doubt abt it.

but i do know a senior analyst who have worked in this AML department for more than 3 years and progressed as well as got promoted through different roles..

First, as an AML Analyst. Then, got promoted to Senior Analyst. Then, became a QA Analyst. After that, if not mistaken, got promoted to QA Manager. And now finally is going through a leadership program (One and a half years if not mistaken), a program for outstanding employees (i think) to travel around different countries and take on different tasks.

But this senior is DAMN Gud. and i mean damn good. so, if you are a normal employee or so so one, i think dun bother la.

If good ones, i think still hard though coz i have seen and know a couple of good AML analysts who are working for almost 3 years or more but never get this kind of offer.

For those newbies working in CTSM KL as an AML analyst, if you want to progress further and expand your career in Citi, my advice is work hard like SHIT, don't complain (very important coz there are always ppl listening...BEWARE) and build your contacts with your colleagues, bosses, ppl in Citibank not just CTSM and you may get an opportunity like above.. hahahaha

Anyway, i am just posting based on my opinion, no hard feelings towards anybody.

To those working in CTSM rite now, all the best! guess you all must be staring and crunching the comp rite now, huh? hehe
