Compliance career path
I recently accepted an offer in the AML/OFAC compliance department at UBS. Having attended a TTT, I'm happy to have a job that I find interesting and that pays reasonably well at all, and I have been trying to chart a career path since my acceptance. I've noticed that most employees above the VP level have some government experience, however given the limitations of LinkedIn it's tough to tell which agency offers the best exit opportunities. There is a great deal of regulatory overlap among the OCC, FinCen, the Fed, and even self-regulators like FINRA. After spending a few years in the private sector, which agency would be best to jump to for a few years to make myself a stronger candidate for top jobs back at a bank down the road? What is the most prestigious government agency--barring the US Attorney's Office--for a financial crimes compliance professional to join?
