hi guys, will be sitting for cs-1 (ifoa) in sept, but i havent started studying yet- i’m still figuring out my options. was wondering if purchasing, the actuarial guy’s course be enough or will i have to buy CMP and any other additional material? + any reviews will be helpful.
Hi, my long term goal is to pursue IAI and IFoA and eventually work in actuary(preferably abroad). We know actuary exams are very difficult and require a lot of time and money. I can pick on things easily. I am already comfortable with python, sql, excel (learning macros and VBA). I still need to learn R. It's just, is it worth it? As in, considering the current job market, even if I clear the exams, will I be able to find a job in actuary at all? I do have work experience but it's not relevant to the actuary.This is more of a career transition for me. So I am just wondering. I know we can never certainly know what can happen in the future but I just wanna assess my chances. And I do enjoy maths & statistics, so i do think I'll clear the papers if not in first attempts at least in second attempt. But i don't wanna put all the effort for nothing. It's just with all this AI & bad job market. I am not understanding if i should go ahead with pursuing actuary.
This is going to be my first paper. I am slightly confused about where to start? Should I take any coaching? Also, will 4 months be sufficient? Also, my age is 29, is it too late?
Hi
I finished my BSc in Physics and MSc in Data Science. (Picked DS becoz i wanted a faster well paying job)
I am currently working as an AI/ML Engineer at a startup with 14LPA package for 1 year and this is my first company.
I attended the entrance exam for Actuarial Science after my BSc, but didnt go on further.
Recently, I was considering if I should explore and try attending these exams for
Add to my CV
Know more about finance
Slight speculation that engineering could go down in sometime(at least 10yrs) in future
I love maths and I am good at it.
Well paying job
Should be fun (as in a flexible and friendly work environment)
I have these questions before I lock in on my options.
Is it worth going down this path?
Should I consider other options? What are they?
I went through other conversations and people in this field aren't particularly happy about their choices.
I want to have better inputs before I start my journey.
what are some colleges besides iaqs that offer this degree? is the course at iaqs helpful, what is the environment like?
do recruiters look down on exemptions, or does it not matter? also does your score matter or just pass/fail?
so i am giving the ACET june exam for actuarial sciences and MY VAC FUCKING EXAM DATE IS CLASHING WITH IT LIKE EVEN THE TIMINGS ARE SAME. please guide me
