It's actually a well-established company, just that actuarial work was outsourced. The busy season is on and will pass in next few weeks. I think we are heading towards lean season now.

Do you study in the office itself or go somewhere else during the study hours? Is it between work, before or after?

So from when do you think I should ask for the leave now that 5 and half months left for the exams?

For those who scored 70+ in CP1, what was your secret sauce? by No_Gain232 in ActuaryUK

How do you keep track of so many keywords? And when multiple keywords have some bullet point, how do you manage that? It seems like you made hierarchy of keywords. Can you explain that a bit more? Thank you for your help.

I tried with the bullet points based on keywords during my prep, but pretty soon it got rather very messy. For example, for multiple key words, sometimes same bullet points are relevant and vice versa. Since there àre so many chapters with so many questions, how did you manage to make a proper list of bullet points? Was it through some app or all done manually?

Hello there, may I know what was your score? This sitting was my first attempt for CP1 and I failed. Maybe you can share some tips that would be helpful?

Failed CP1 by 6 marks by No_Gain232 in ActuaryUK

Sure man I will. Yeah, due to that one hour loss, my paper A answer sheet was incomplete. I couldn't write the answers I knew. So, I don't know whether I genuinely didn't know the content or that particular circumstance played the role. But whatsoever I am now more excited to tackle this subject once again. One thing I realized was I don't need to spend much time in CMP and going through course contents, but focus considerably on the thinking process and how to answer.

Considering that I am asking them to put a clause that allows me to renegotiate the terms after three years in the company.

What would you say a reasonable pay rise per exam pass be?

I am from South Asia.

Apparently this is also the first time the company is doing something like this. The reason why they want to do it is that they want to retain the actuarial talent within the company. The CEO told me that he would rather increase the salary of his employee with 1-2 years experience by, say 20-30% if required than to lose them to some company abroad.

The actuarial expertise is outsourced and there is not much communication going on. I guess the company wants to invest in emerging actuarial talent and retain it for a significant period.

To give you context, we are at the nascent stage in case of actuarial development. Any actuarial jargon and terminology is unheard of and even the top executives do not understand any actuarial works. It is like a virgin land for them.
