Here I thought I was the only actuary on the forums
So far EJB, farmbochur and yr. Anyone else out there?
Did anyone get into the field with just a yeshiva degree? I went to a regular college, but there was someone at the company where I interned who got an entry level job with a BMG degree + a few exams.
I know at least 2 or 3 other big posters, just don't know if they want to out themselves... I'm sure out of some 12,000 members there are a lot more. Statistically speaking
What's starting salary for an actuary?
So starting is ~$55-60? How quickly does it get to $100? 5 years?
http://www.bls.gov/ooh/math/mobile/actuaries.htm24,300/300,000,000 times 12,000 = about one .I guess the 12,000 sample size is of higher intelligence
I was once in touch with someone who did that but he got hired at least 5 years ago, maybe more. I would be nervous to do that because the market for EL is getting more and more competitive. Curious to hear other opinions.
3. P, FM & MFE ,if you're familiar. I've since passed C.
1. The 24k figure is credentialed actuaries. Many of the posters here are still taking exams.
2. Frum Jews are disproportionately actuaries for various reasons.
I wonder what the reasons would be?
I guess the 12,000 sample size is of higher intelligence
Perhaps, but I also think a higher proportion of frum Jews choose to pursue the career as opposed to other careers that require similar levels of intelligence.
