My Actuarial Promotion | My Actuary Journey 2024

I wanted to touch base regarding my actuarial journey & the latest development: I got promoted.
In this video I discuss my actuarial career goals, prioritizing work life balance, how salary isn't the only factor in accepting a promotion & more.

I'm here for the chaotic energy 😂

[@Actuaryelle]

Keeping things fun and fresh 🤭

[@BadEnoughDudeRescues]

First by pure luck. Congrats!

[@Actuaryelle]

Thanks for being here 😁😁

[@clivewright7417]

Same here! I never want to stop doing stuff, and neither do I want to go into man management. But I'm only one month in my career so that might change😅 We'll see!

[@aeriii4681]

Me too. I feel like my mom has this fantasy of me in a fancy leadership role with a title… and that sounds like way too much pressure for me 😬

[@Actuaryelle]

It's good to remain open to opportunities, but I think its also great to know yourself and know when you don't want something. Management isn't for everyone

Hi Elle, as an aspiring actuary, I love your videos! I just watched one of your first ones where you mention you passed all your exams in a little over five years. I'm 20 and I just passed FM in February. I think it would be really awesome to be a fellow by the time i'm 25-26. Was just wondering how hard that was? Did you have hardly any free time or were you still able to go out and do things? Thanks!

[@mockingbird5919]

Your company truly value you (and your Brain) 😊

[@Actuaryelle]

I'm very grateful to be valued and respected

[@hansanaik3835]

Congratulations! I do not like being a people manager either. I like being a SME in my area of work and I like doing different roles that add value to the company.

A promotion from a fairly new role without Python skillz, following a lengthy hiatus. And you're engaged... After following your journey for quite a while now, it makes me happy the stars are aligning for you. Congrats🎉

[@Actuaryelle]

Thank you 🥰 im very grateful to be in the position that im in

[@Vonsen]

Congratulations! I don't know if this is too personal, but I was curious what your fiancé does that lets him work from home full time? That seems like it's getting less common as we get further from the pandemic.

[@Actuaryelle]

He works for his family business and they don't have a physical office space. Perks of not working for a large corporation, although personally I enjoy having an office to go in to

[@laurasegal4965]

How do you only have meetings for 10% of your week omg

[@Actuaryelle]

I dont actually work here 😏

[@henryl7295]

I like your opinions on rotation. That being said, will you permanently stay in one team one day?

[@Actuaryelle]

The only certainty in life is change. I'd like to say I'll find somewhere forever, but who knows? Maybe I'll get bored. Maybe there will be a bigger need for my skillset elsewhere. I think its more likely that I find a niche skillset to stick with, rather than a specific team

[@cleogyrl]

What brand is the desk? I've been looking to get one just like it.

[@Actuaryelle]

It's Motion Grey 😊

[@cleogyrl]

@@Actuaryelle Thank you! 😊
