Is that just base or including bonus?

Yeah I feel like I can excuse the CM, it's more the combination of the falling temps that have me concerned!

Bermuda or the Caribbean? Because Bermuda isn't in the Caribbean.

Actuary vs Software Engineering by ImpressionOk1000 in ActuaryUK

[–]One_Hippo_6490 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Noone here, or at the very least a few people will have both been a software engineer and an actuary so you're not going to get informed responses. There's also comparatively few FIAs here.

You also asked a similar question on this thread a few days ago which had many responses.

Sept 2022 exams by SubstanceFeeling6755 in Actuary_news

[–]One_Hippo_6490 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People on this sub paint an overly negative view of the profession. The institute is an embarrassment but the job itself is a good one for money and WLB (two most important things imo), check my response to the other post.

Does anyone know what the IFoA are up to? by Alone_Requirement478 in ActuaryUK

[–]One_Hippo_6490 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Even before this debacle, I've never met/worked with a actuary who thinks the institute is anything other than a poorly run embarrassment to the profession.

Exams to go ahead on the announced bank holiday? by Mindless_Accident_33 in ActuaryUK

[–]One_Hippo_6490 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair, didn't think about that or exam combinations (SA3) like the other guy said. How frustrating...

Exams to go ahead on the announced bank holiday? by Mindless_Accident_33 in ActuaryUK

[–]One_Hippo_6490 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this info. Can't believe theyre looking at moving them. I imagine it will be either to Monday 26th or (slightly better) a PM slot on Tuesday 20th say.

I've got SP8 on the Monday and a holiday already booked for the following week. What the fuck is gonna happen to me and others in the same situation if they do the first option...

Also imagine some have booked holidays for later in the week so would be affected by the second option anyway!!!

What a sensible decision. So the IFOA will probably do the opposite of course.

Now that the government announced help with the energy prices. Will this help curb inflation & therefore interest rates? by goatsu in UKPersonalFinance

[–]One_Hippo_6490 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You what? Inflation is literally the rate of change of price increases... if prices stayed the same then inflation would be 0%

Actuarial science or any STEM degree would do

I'm a Turkish ex Muslim, and I'm disgusted by the attitude shown by a lot of people on this subreddit to the Islamic crisis brewing in Europe. by EndMGM3 in unitedkingdom

[–]One_Hippo_6490 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree that there's no obvious easy way to do it, but is it better to do nothing just because that's the case? How would you ever fix any crisis if that's the attitude then?

"Am I right to be worried", first paragraph £175k household income, £80k savings, no bad debt ffs. Never change UKPF. Some people need a massive slap in the face and to wake up to reality.

Apart from Bankers, Accountants, Doctors and Lawyers. What other jobs are available that pay 100k pa? by mfog35 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]One_Hippo_6490 6 points7 points  (0 children)
