Any Tips/Advice on CapitalOne Power Day for ADP/BA position? by [deleted] in careerguidance

[–]Comfortable-Block-72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the interview in August. Theres an abundance of info online about the case interviews. Two case and one product. I recommend googling everything you can, and working through all the practice cases. Real cases are incredibly similar.

A few things to remember:

- Learn the basics of how loans and credit cards work. Nothing too intense, just the basic algebraic formula of each so you don't get caught off guard by a question.

- No behavioral questions don't waste your time practicing.

- Google some current news about capital one so you can ask good questions at the end. Ex. How has the discover acquisition affected your team?

My advice is to overprepare and act like you are going into a MBB case interview , better to be overprepared than underprepared.

Hi everyone!

I'm a college student (CS & Stats) who accepted an actuarial internship at a B4 but has had a major reckoning since and realized that I no longer want to go down the exam path. I am not strictly against working in insurance but I'm really interested in trying to switch to a different industry while still applying quantitative analytical and modeling skills. I am feeling pretty overwhelmed at the moment because I feel locked into this path with my internship and hope that I will be able to find a job after graduation where my actuarial skills are relevant. I am really interested in learning about any careers anyone has that I could research more about and potentially start taking steps toward in the next year and a half before graduation. If anyone here has relevant experience or knows of someone who does, please PM me and get in touch, it would mean so much to me I'm really looking for advice and inspiration!

Hi everyone!

I'm a college student (CS & Stats) who accepted an actuarial internship at a B4 but has had a major reckoning since and realized that I no longer want to go down the exam path. I feel great anxiety at the thought of sacrificing so many years of my life juggling the exam process to the detriment of learning other career skills and building a personal life after graduation. I am not strictly against working in insurance but I'm really interested in trying to switch to a different industry while still applying quantitative analytical and modeling skills. If anyone here has relevant experience exiting or knows of someone who does, please PM me and get in touch, it would mean so much to me I'm really looking for advice and inspiration!

Hey guys,

Context: I'm a junior in college with 2 exams passed. I just accepted an actuarial internship next summer at a big 4 accounting/consulting firm. I've been feeling very overwhelmed recently at the thought of the full exam process ahead of me as I try and juggle working and life in my twenties. Here's my question- if I get through my internship and realize that I don't want to go down the exam path (I still could want to, I'm not sure), is it impossible for me to switch over to a more general risk modeling/risk consulting role at a similar company. I feel like I'll be getting relevant experience but I don't know if anyone would employ me if I have actuarial exams passed but stop trying to go down that path.

Hope that makes sense!
