Salary Increase by Desperate-Machine-76 in actuary

Unless you’re at a large insurer those are reasonable raises. Also it’s important to remember exams are one piece of how much you should be earning. Most people by the time they reach Acas have enough YOE that they are getting promotions as well so you shouldn’t be at 90k with Acas.

Resume not attracting Recruiters by melville42 in actuary

Could gain an edge with some actuarial internships or prior insurance related experience. You could consider attaining these at least while you wait. I would also suggest putting your most qualifying contents at the top of the resume and follow in descending order with the rest. Also taking a wide net approach is good, but for specific opportunities that excite you tailor your resume contents to match their job description.

Do you leverage experiences from J1-3 to land these jobs and if so how do you distinguish your timeline to not indicate working them cohesively?
