E174: Are fincrime professionals paid enough?

We talk a lot about the dark money that makes the criminal world turn — but what about the money paid to the people fighting it?

For all the responsibility, the stress, the expertise, and the constant need to adapt, compliance professionals are right to ask whether they're being paid what they're worth.

Our expert host, Marit Rødevand, is joined by Quentin Downes, Divisional Director of Financial Crime, Compliance & Risk at Butler Rose, and Rebecca Robinson, Chief Risk and Compliance Officer at Tenora, to ask: "Are fincrime professionals paid enough?"

The panel discuss what the market really pays right now, why so many roles feel stuck, training the next generation, and whether AI is about to rewrite salaries and job roles altogether.
