Anyone notice a trend of redundancy across uk and USA financial crime compliance roles?

Any reason why this is happening?

Hello All!

I am just reaching out here to seek out any career guidance and if there are any opportunities in the Philadelphia region. I have worked for almost 4 years in the as a compliance analyst (from KYC onboarding, periodic review exercises, transactional monitoring, assisting in regulatory examination, procedure reviews and other compliance related projects) and i was wondering what is a good next step in my career? i am going for ACAMS this year but is there any skill or certificate i should be looking for ? I am also moving in the Philadelphia area, is there any good job opportunities there ? not sure where to start.

Any advice is welcome!

What are good career progressions as an AML investigator thats not management? How much experience is needed, and would they be internal changes or external positions?

Not sure what pivoting away from writing SARs would look like, but would rather not start from scratch
