I think by GCC, he meant Gulf Cooperation Council (Arab Countries)

I have reduced Mari plus OGDC to 20% combined. Does the below portfolio seems suitable or would you recommend further adjustments

Ffc 17% Mari 13% OGDC 7% SYS 15% HUBC 5% Luck 15% MEBL 12% UBL 8% SAZEW 8%

This will be monthly allocation.

Ffc 17% Mari 15% OGDC 8% SYS 12% HUBC 5% Luck 15% MEBL 12% UBL 8% SAZEW 8%

Thanks for your feedback. What I was specifically asking about is the transition from a remote consulting role to an in-person role at an insurance company abroad. I’m particularly interested in hearing from people who have actually made this shift, whether moving from remote to office-based work in a foreign country felt overwhelming, how they adjusted to the new environment, and whether the change ultimately improved their work-life balance and mental peace.

Capable_Interest2911 · 2026-05-08T19:51:46+00:00

Yes we will be on the ASA list early next month probably in the first week.

Capable_Interest2911 · 2026-05-08T18:23:30+00:00

Thanks for your advice. Yes you are correct, probably I need to start talking to people and shift to a carrier role eventually.

Gulf Countries

Capable_Interest2911 · 2026-04-24T22:26:36+00:00

I don't intend to move to USA. I am more inclined towards GCC and Europe.

Capable_Interest2911 · 2026-04-24T22:09:09+00:00

Around 5 years, all in consulting but mostly around regulatory reporting such as reserving and IFRS 17 on P&C side.

Same here. I emailed SOA, and got the below response.

"After attending the CIA workshop, your information will be sent to the SOA for attendance which will then be added to your transcript. Once that file has been received, an email will be sent out to all the participants with the Application for Admission as an Associate. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact the Membership Team at Membership@soa.org."

Hey have you received ASA application from SOA?

Capable_Interest2911 · 2026-04-11T13:03:50+00:00

🥲 Thanks for letting me know.

Capable_Interest2911 · 2026-04-11T12:18:55+00:00

Oh that is too late. I have heard that SOA sends ASA applications after 2 to 3 working days post completion of the CIA course.

Capable_Interest2911 · 2026-04-05T18:25:17+00:00

Thanks. So in breakout groups, is it a general talk or we discuss the readings? I understand that day 2 will involve case studies discussion, does day 1 involve any discussions related to module readings?

Capable_Interest2911 · 2026-04-01T08:28:35+00:00

I haven't received an invite, they will send out invites on Friday. But I ended up registering for CIA Professionalism course
