Actuary Salary - Is this a High Paying Job?

[@puckme6041]

Cool video, you should prbably invest in high quality camera and external microphone, they can be expensive but I think it would greatly boost your exposure. Good luck.

[@SachinSharma-tv2do]

Yes it would be nice to have..... but as her content uaer i like her material and videos quite a lot even as they currently are. Saying this so Brie can get a dorect client perspective for the video qualify

[@jeremiahmacclure]

Actuaries are cheap...;)

[@albieadao8806]

More than the high salary, its the satisfaction that I get in the application of math (probability and calculus) on real world problems particularly in finance which is something I believe to be the heart of actuarial science

[@EtchedActuarial]

It's great to hear that you truly enjoy actuarial science!

[@caleb6590]

Can you do a vid on some of the machine learning and technical skills that y’all are starting to do

[@anthonyc2076]

Anyone who thinks the salaries are inflated is wrong. They seem about right based on what i’ve seen.

[@jacobhamanenga5934]

What country are you referring to for these salaries?

[@EtchedActuarial]

Canada and the US

[@jacobhamanenga5934]

@@EtchedActuarial I am studying MSc actuarial science from Cass Business School in London, and looking to get 8 exam exemptions from IFoA UK. Do you think its okay to apply for jobs in the US/Canada?

[@EtchedActuarial]

​@@jacobhamanenga5934 Hi Jacob! In North America the regulating bodies for actuaries are the SOA or CAS. Job postings will usually require candidates to have those certifications/exams passed. It may be possible to get exemptions if you have certification from IFoA, but that may be different if those credits are obtained from a graduate program. It would be best to reach out to the relevant organization to get more details!

I'm from Argentina, I'm studying actuarial science in University of Buenos Aires because I like numbers and kind of into the thing of calculate risk and all that. It's like my life, always trying to predict the risk of everything in my life. A question, is it possible for an Argentinian who has the appearance of an European and has Italian citizenship to succeed in the U.S. as an actuary?

[@agustinlaborde4677]

Also I love maths. For this career, do I need to know how to program, I mean, do I have a boost if I know how to create apps and computational logic?

[@EtchedActuarial]

There aren't restrictions for international candidates working as an actuary in the U.S. Just make sure you satisfy all the requirements and communicate with the companies you apply to. You will likely not have to directly create apps, but it's great to have good technical skills.

Buenaa argentino con apariencia europeaa que te viniste en barco agustin🤣

[@Damnedindenial]

The salary here is a bonus! The math is my core happiness with this! I left engineering and miss math in a bad way I used to jam out on my music and do math for like relaxation! I take FM class next semester then I'll apply for a internship!

[@EtchedActuarial]

Great to hear that! It's certainly easier to find motivation doing something you enjoy :)

[@thetruthsayer8347]

I wish I liked math

[@hellogoodbye637]

Are there less actuary jobs available with the American 2023 economy being what it is?

[@tendoryan21]

I've always loved to be an actuary since I'm brilliant at numbers (mathematics) and looking forward to being one, a super one actually

[@EtchedActuarial]

That's awesome! Good luck!

[@Saywhatohno]

How true are those salaries? Was your salary in this low or high range?

[@hoahongel]

I wanna be an actuary because I love math such as calculate

[@EtchedActuarial]

That's great! You'll have lots of opportunity for quantitative work as an actuary.

[@hoahongel]

​@@EtchedActuarialThank you! I passed P in November. I love math, so I will patient with several difficult trouble in the feature.

[@SURAJ-xj9qh]

What is more tough ca or actuarial science

[@EtchedActuarial]

It really depends on which is a better fit for you! But becoming an actuary usually takes longer. Take a look at this video for an in depth comparison between actuaries and accoutants kzbin.info/www/bejne/p6izc556pdCUfsk

[@darkHERO73]

Accountant is a poor man's actuary

[@akashbhowmik7993]

Does a a major in Eco, math, Stat. Help in preparing for actuarial exams?

[@FlourishAndDwell]

Akash bhowmick 12 A1. Roll no. 04. Definitely! Plus you’ll probably knock out you VEE’s

[@EtchedActuarial]

Yes all those majors are relevant to becoming an actuary. You can find a more in depth analysis of the pros and cons here: etchedactuarial.com/best-actuary-major/

[@theactuarialdatascientist]

My statistics degree included a class that covered 90% of the Exam P material and I would also say ~50-70% of the MAS-1 material was covered between a handful of required courses. I would assume Econ would help with FM/IFM but I'm not 100% sure.

[@akashbhowmik7993]

@@theactuarialdatascientist hey, I am from India, would be great if you could share on the prospects on working as an actuary in the US or UK. How are the employment rates corresponding to the in hand salary I can expect, having completed 7 to 8 papers

[@theactuarialdatascientist]

@@akashbhowmik7993 For your question I would refer to this video/the study that Etched Actuarial is referencing. She and this study would know far better than myself since I only have passed P/FM so far (sitting for MAS -1) and my jobs/experience have been more focused on the predictive analytics side of things. Sorry I'm not more help! Just thought I'd chime in since you mentioned Stats Degree specifically!

[@francinemckenzie4187]

hi how can i contact you im really interested in becoming an actuary

[@EtchedActuarial]

Hi Anne, you can contact us at [e-mail]!

[@solidsnake4022]

Not a bad salary for someone with a bachelor's degree.

[@natik2136]

What does experience mean here exactly? Related experience and transferable skills count towards a higher salary or is only actuarial experience considered here?

[@EtchedActuarial]

Actuarial experience. But if you have relevant skills that will usually be taken into account during the hiring process as well.

[@daarisbaaris]

If I were to take out a student loan to study actuarial science at university, how long will it take on average to pay back that loan?

[@EtchedActuarial]

Hey Darius, that depends on lots of factors like the school you're going to and your financial circumstances. It'd be better to speak with a financial advisor who knows your situation more.
