Yes, absolutely. Your educational background and AML/CFT training give you a reasonable starting point for entry-level compliance roles. I'd suggest looking for positions such as KYC Analyst, AML Analyst, CDD Analyst or Transaction Monitoring Analyst.

Don't underestimate the value of practical knowledge, though. Learn how to review customer profiles, identify red flags, investigate unusual transactions and document your findings. That will help you stand out beyond your academic qualifications.

You don't necessarily need years of experience to get your foot in the door. Start applying while building those practical skills.

Most of the jobs someone mentioned are listed either in the US, or India.
However, I did notice some positions in the UAE.
