I was looking at the type of jobs being a qualified actuary can get you, outside of risk. Trading in Insurance Linked Securities seemed to be quite exciting (especially if you have CAT modelling exposure) are any actuaries here considering it?
Especially because of the uncapped salary you could potentially get because it acts more like a traditional trading role?
Or would you say there isn’t much of a transition available?
A big reason I chose the actuarial career is because the pay: hours worked ratio is perhaps the best on the market. But I’m wondering if that’s becoming a less true.
Context, I’ll be working at Lloyd’s syndicate as a graduate pricing actuary in GI and Reinsurance in September and I’ve heard that combination works you the longest compared to pension or life.
Apparently Pricing has the most consistent hours so I was wondering if the overall shift in work culture being 8-5 or 9-6 will affect my working hours. Or will I still be spending extra time in the office but just for studying?
Is it more of a company dependent thing?
Derma rolling creates micro tears in the skin, surely if I put minoxidil on that I risk infection or something?
