Aspiring actuaries have it all. An undoubtedly unblemished academic background, a solid career for life enjoying impossibly small levels of unemployment/unemployability and now you have your first, or possibly second, highly-paid, highly prized job. Your employer likely even sponsors you throughout the duration of sitting actuarial exams providing both you the time and financial support to get through them relatively unscathed. Life is good.
There is a solid reason for their savvy investment - once you have qualified, their profit on your client chargeable time peaks. It’s a neat model. It also creates a level of career inertia, the next career milestone, similar to University studying, is simply to qualify. It’s understandable, I mean who switches Universities mid-term. But this is somewhat different.
The demand for mid-students and nearly-qualified actuaries is at it’s greatest whilst you are still an actuarial student. The sheer volume of vacancies spread across this often-overlooked optimal employer-switch point is testament to the real reality – this is the career point to switch your life-energy supplier and uncap your price. The career spark will be electric.
If you are early in exams, a mid-student looking for more or a nearly/newly sticking your head sensibly above the parapet, then get in touch. No CV is required and all is in confidence. It could be 5 minutes well spent, it won’t lower your energy bills, but it will certainly add some combustion to your career pursuits.
