come to work with me as an ACTUARIAL SCIENCE intern at AIG! (part 2)

Great video!! I've been wanting to watch something like this for a long time.

[@Bella-the-Actuary]

Thank you for watching! Glad you enjoyed it 😊

[@ZombiemanOhhellnaw]

Definitely informative, I’m interested in what videos you will come up with next! 🙌

[@Bella-the-Actuary]

Thank you so much for watching! Hoping to come out with more soon 😁😁

Definitely informative about the intern experience. Thanks. You mentioned that this internship was a hybrid one where you only had to go into the office 2 days in the week. I'm curious, what's the remote work from home experience as an actuary intern like? Do you have to keep on working from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM or is there a set of tasks that you have to finish by the end of the day and the time it takes can vary? So if you finish all the tasks within 2-3 hours, do you have the rest of the day off or do you have to wait to be assigned more work until your shift is over?

[@Bella-the-Actuary]

Thanks for watching! Glad you found it informative :) In my experience, I worked the full 8 hours each day while working remotely. I was working on two projects over the course of my internship, and there were always more tasks to complete and more ways to improve the processes that I could do if I finished the first task within the first few hours. Plus, if I ever felt like I finished most of my tasks and could take on more work, I asked my manager for more work because I wanted to learn as much as possible and get as much experience as I could squeeze out of those few months. AKA, I wanted to be busy! Hope this helps!

Interesting video, thanks! I have a comment about the runtime of macros though. The runtime of a macro (or any program for that matter) depends on the number of operations, not on the number of lines. These two can be very different.

[@Bella-the-Actuary]

Hi Nicholas 😃 Thanks for catching that! You are totally right - I believe I had about one operation per line of code, which is why I said this, but that is true.

[@MaiNguyen-cn8sr]

Love it! Can you do a video about why you started with actuarial science, and how you find your internship plz?

[@Bella-the-Actuary]

Thank you for watching! 😊 I can definitely make a video about that! Thanks for the suggestion 😁

Great Video! Curious.. did they provide a housing stipend or anything like that? Also did they pay you a reasonable salary? I think it would be cool to be an actuarial intern in another city for a summer, especially California as I'm also from Wisconsin, but wondering if I could even afford it.

[@Bella-the-Actuary]

Hi Jack! Thank you 😊 They did provide a stipend which helped with the cost of housing in California, but we did have to find the housing ourselves. A lot of people either did a short-term apartment lease or rented an Airbnb. I think it is possible to afford having an out-of-state actuarial internship if you can put some money down on housing ahead of time! Especially because California salaries tend to be higher (for this internship, I was at $37.5/hour pre-tax)

[@jkese10]

Wow 37.5/hour is a lot! Thanks for the help!

[@Bella-the-Actuary]

Of course!

Hello ! I’m majoring in stats and and am debating between minoring in finance or data science. What would you recommend?

[@Bella-the-Actuary]

Hi! Thanks so much for watching 😊😊 Assuming you’re looking to go into actuarial science, I think both are great options. It depends what kind of work you can see yourself doing and what interests you more. Taking the finance route would prepare you to work more with a company’s financial statements, such as their income statement. Do you like the idea of that? On the other hand, no matter which kind of actuarial role you take, you will most likely be dealing with some type of coding/software programs. So the data science could help strengthen those hard skills, but you’d also be able to learn them on the job. Does that help?

Thanks
