I’m an actuary (not of the qualified variety) and don’t share the observations made in most of the comments here:
- I get to spend most of the time in R working on cash flow modeling;
- We get to use a lot of data which makes for interesting challenges;
- I get a say in how we solve problems IT wise;
- We need to understand the business to do our own modeling correctly;
- Pay isn’t that great.

P.S. I’m in Europe
- DavidHm 8y agoI suspect this is very much dependent on the country. My bachelor was in stats & actuarial sciences (though I never worked in the field), and in my country there's a big shortage of qualified actuaries. So the average salaries are pretty high and it's a safe and stable work (albeit dreadfully boring, which is why I never went into the field)
