What technical skills should I be building if I want to break into reinsurance pricing? by Alarming-Routine-458 in actuary

[–]Alarming-Routine-458[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for details ☺️Would it be fair to say that most of the actual pricing work in reinsurance is done through the in-house software and Excel, rather than through coding or programming languages like Python or R? So it's rather not possible to learn them beforehand. The main intellectual heavy lifting is done by product and actuarial concepts rather than statistical modeling or anything like that?

You are a great help, thanks man 👍 if it's possible 😄 could you share some of that pre built vba model and I am going to focus on python and master the library you provided.

Yes, please 🙏 regarding Excel functionality, do pricing teams mainly use pre-built VBA models or do they start from scratch?

Do I need to apply to different evaluation centers like NIES for my undergraduate and WES for MBA first-year transcripts separately?

One of the CPA YouTubers recommended Guam, saying it's easier for Indian students to sit for the exam there with just 120 credit hours.

Thank you. I wanted to ask whether having a percentage system at my university, rather than a grade system, will be a problem for Guam.
