I want to start journaling, but I hate typing.
Is there an app where I can just talk, and it turns my voice into text? And maybe uses AI to organize my thoughts so it's not just a huge wall of text?
What do you guys use?
Hi everyone,
I’m currently trying to figure out how realistic it is to move from FinCrime / AML / fraud into Product Management or Business Analysis.
My background is mainly in fintech, AML/KYC, transaction monitoring, fraud prevention, investigations, rules, workflows, and internal risk processes. In my last role, I worked quite closely with developers and data people. For example, we built an internal anti-fraud admin panel, and I was involved from the business side: describing the logic, explaining user needs, defining what analysts needed to see/do in the tool, testing things, and giving feedback.
I also have my own small project now. It’s a practical training platform for beginners in AML/fraud, where users can investigate simulated alerts and cases, make decisions, and get feedback. So I’m not just interested in operations. I genuinely enjoy building systems, thinking through workflows, user journeys, requirements, and how internal tools should work.
The problem is that most Product Manager or Business Analyst roles still ask for direct PM/BA experience. Even when the domain is relevant, it feels like companies see me as “only FinCrime / operations” and not as someone who can move into a product or systems role.
Has anyone here made a similar transition from AML, fraud, compliance, risk, or operations into Product Management, Product Ownership, or Business Analysis?
What helped you make the switch?
Should I target BA roles first, Product Owner roles, internal tools, RegTech, fintech, or something else?
And how would you position this kind of experience so it doesn’t look like a random career change?
Any practical advice would be appreciated
