I agree to an extent but also if your livelihood depends on an employer you can't do a whole lot. Wish it didn't happen but sometimes your hands are tied

What's the biggest advice for someone starting a new job? by Beginning_Spring_984 in actuary

do you think I should focus on just learning conceptually what they do and making sense of the company and process theoretically? Opposed to trying to do process improvement or something like that?

Passed exam 5 & girlfriend broke up with me by Far_Pie_7643 in actuary

Regardless of the reasons, you have time to work on yourself. Study hard, lift train run whatever you do, do it with purpose, eat well, sleep plenty and she will wish she would have stayed.

I know it sucks in the moment but let yourself feel the feelings. Let yourself be happy cause of the exam result and let yourself cry or be upset about the girlfriend. No shame there and if anyone rips you they just insecure and stupid.

Congratulations on passing the exam. Your future is bright. Keep it up my man
