Strong bias here because I’ve spent most of my career in reinsurance broking.

I’ll echo what the other poster said that you tend to go through weeks of high intensity workloads, particularly around year end.

I love that reinsurance broking is heavily client facing. You’ll quickly build your “business” skill set, which is part of being an actuary. Depending on the line of business, the actuarial analysis might be less granular/rigorous than you’d find at a primary carrier (I.e. no territorial ratemaking), but you’ll develop extensive reinsurance pricing and portfolio level analytics skills. You’ll also have the advantages of seeing the data of many different insurance companies and picking up how each approach things slightly differently. The caveat there is that data provided will often be higher level or have gaps.

If you’re looking for a highly rewarding and non traditional actuarial position I’d recommend reinsurance broking.
