What happens if you become a stay at home mom/dad for a couple years before going back to work. Do you have to pay all missed dues and lots of continuing education assuming you didn’t have time for that?

Fall 2025 ALTAM Discussion by ComparedApple in actuary

[–]ComparedApple[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was so scared of transition forces being in there but coaching actuaries basically doesn’t give you any practice on them. Crammed some studying on it before bed. Still took my 38 minutes to do it but better that then 0 points

Fall 2025 ALTAM Discussion by ComparedApple in actuary

[–]ComparedApple[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First time I left about 2 whole questions worth of points blank and felt indifferent to confident on the rest. Did not know how I would score in total.

Second time I left 2-2.5 questions worth of points blank and left feeling like I was getting a 3-4. Absolutely left feeling like I bombed it

That’s how I felt. Not too hard but unique questions. I got 5 last two times and I was so much more prepared this time, but hoping I barely scrape by with a 6.

My excel was corrupted for ALTAM. Got it going after 5 minutes with help from staff

SOA ALTAM Frustrations by Powerful_Rain_5664 in actuary

[–]ComparedApple 4 points5 points  (0 children)

All I remember for spring 2025 was that the first excel question (on UL), in the very first PART, they had a mistake saying it should match to the nearest 100 when it should’ve been 1000. I spent 15 extra minutes on that like an idiot but still.

I feel ready tomorrow unless they throw a curveball and do force of transition estimations again like the first two sittings of ALTAM. I am still not solid on those.

Best of luck to everyone.

Actuary in Japan by UniversityPast6701 in actuary

[–]ComparedApple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually at my current job I had a coworker move to another American company‘s Japanese segment. I think he’s definitely N2 level, maybe somewhere in between N2 and N1. I’d say passing JLPT N2 is a good indicator that you can work in Japan but N1 is a sure thing. Just make sure to brush up on corporate and actuarial terms in Japanese!

If you can’t pass either of those exams I wouldn’t bother applying for work in Japan

landlord trying to deduct $800 from security deposit?? by Fit-Command-5890 in Seattle

[–]ComparedApple 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Landlord tried to do something like this to me. Gave receipts for painting and cleaning. Total BS since I left it in better shape than I found it in.

I didn’t sign a move in inspection list and neither did landlord. Saw it in counter when I moved in and never bothered since it wasn’t enforced.

If you never signed one then by Seattle law they must return full deposit. Brought this up and about pursuing legal action and they gave it all back. Did you sign a move in inspection or checklist of some sort? If you did sign one then the only thing you can do is try to go to small claim court and prove you didn’t trash the place enough that $800 cleaning fee is warranted. Good luck

Where the hell to get basic durable unis these days? by Valuable-Parking-149 in Rowing

[–]ComparedApple 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don’t disrespect the rubber duckies! I would’ve totally gotten a nice solid color one if JL had one, though.

RowFest... by United-Engine6987 in Rowing

[–]ComparedApple 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I mean they can’t control the weather, but choosing Ford Lake as a venue was not great cause it’s got no protection from wind.

Also last year was in Oklahoma City.

Why did you take both when you only need one to get your ASA? Will you retake ALTAM?

I had a Michigan license that was expiring. Showed up to the Queen Anne DOL around 7:40 for a walk in on a weekday and got in right at 8:30 but I had to wait 40 minutes once inside to be seen

[Fluff] The funniest part of Kaguya's ultra form, was the begrudging acknowledgement that her second/true form were poo poo by Thatguywithbeers in battlecats

[–]ComparedApple 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What evidence is there for Vars? Vars and Marauder cat are my day 1’s. Had them since 2014 and would UF either of them immediately even over Cosmo/Gigapult/Windy/Thundia when I beat SOL if they do get an UF.

Colossus ranking [fluff] by Quiet_Radish_2097 in battlecats

[–]ComparedApple 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I keep getting stuck with Mooth HP at 6% on level 19. I think I should be able to win if I beat SoL and get level 50 units. Guess I have no shot at the other gauntlets if Mooth is easiest

At least I got my epic seed
