ITT: Tell me about compliance jobs
Poast new message in this thread
Date: August 4th, 2012 3:31 AM Author: irradiated transparent rehab jew Unemployed T14 Class of 2012 bro here. I'm looking into possible non-laywer positions, and hear that some of these compliance jobs are JD "preferred." How's the competition for these jobs and how much do they pay?
I don't have any substantive pre-law school work experience. undergraduate STEM major. I have no interest in litigation and hate poors, so shitlaw or public interest is out of the question. I had always wanted to end up in-house, so I thought compliance would also let me work for a corporation, but I'd like to know moar about it. |

Date: August 6th, 2012 7:36 PM Author: Floppy Rusted Theater Boiling Water From my experience, there are people that went straight into compliance roles at a broker-dealer or futures commission merchant or introducing broker. Their roles would normally be limited to reviewing public communications and/or low-level regulatory inquiries. The difficulty is that you are not considered a "lawyer," but rather compliance. I do know of some people that went from compliance to legal; however, they were at their respective firms for over 10 years. You may likely be required to take additional examinations, Series 3 for futures and/or Series 7 for securities.
You can probably expect starting salaries around the high 5 figures and probably be capped out at a chief compliance officer at around $300K depending on the firm. This is an area that is growing by the way (in response to the Dodd-Frank regulation). I have some friends that work the compliance circuit and even go abroad.
Do you have any particular questions? |
