Hi guys, I’m just wondering how’s the financial services job market in Singapore right now?

Specifically Risk and compliance department role like AML/KYC. Is there any chance they are hiring foreigners who’s not residing in sg?

Good domain to be in, market has some good opportunities, esp in AML etc if you are a techie (not sales for sure). If you aren’t from a high risk country, will sure work out if you get a job post interviews.

Thanks man! Appreciate your reply! Yeah currently working as an AML analyst in Kuala Lumpur, and have been submitting heaps of application but most of them seems like not really interested in hiring foreigners. Not sure if that’s because of current border restrictions or they are more keen on hiring locals.

Locals are preferred since Malaysia Covid situation is bad, but keep trying and esp when things get better, you may get that break.
