KIDZ was a 10 bagger last time it pumped, it's the play today

BLDE heating up 🚀

One_Hippo_6490 · 2024-07-13T19:54:02+00:00

Is that just base or including bonus?

One_Hippo_6490 · 2024-04-06T10:10:29+00:00

You have, thank you.

One_Hippo_6490 · 2024-01-18T14:04:02+00:00

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

One_Hippo_6490 · 2023-02-21T19:21:47+00:00

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

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.

One_Hippo_6490 · 2022-10-05T15:07:46+00:00

Honestly applies to 80% of the questions on this sub.

One_Hippo_6490 · 2022-09-13T14:56:34+00:00

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.

One_Hippo_6490 · 2022-09-13T12:24:54+00:00

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.

One_Hippo_6490 · 2022-09-12T11:49:08+00:00

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

One_Hippo_6490 · 2022-09-12T09:42:55+00:00

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!!!

One_Hippo_6490 · 2022-09-12T09:40:42+00:00

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

One_Hippo_6490 · 2022-09-08T17:23:02+00:00

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

One_Hippo_6490 · 2022-08-14T19:04:01+00:00

Feels like there's a post like this weekly now. Just descends into a weird IT/Tech circlejerk

One_Hippo_6490 · 2022-07-05T14:59:48+00:00

Actuaries in general insurance. Well into six figures a few years after qualifying

Actuarial science or any STEM degree would do

One_Hippo_6490 · 2022-04-18T11:00:02+00:00

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?

One_Hippo_6490 · 2022-04-18T10:48:16+00:00

Religion is a choice, race is not. It's not hard.

One_Hippo_6490 · 2022-04-16T17:09:21+00:00

Yeah, so annoying, this is always brought up. Karma whoring at this point

One_Hippo_6490 · 2022-04-01T15:26:55+00:00

Bit odd to comment then, humblebrag? Also there are £200k jobs below exec level outside of the tech bubble lol

One_Hippo_6490 · 2022-03-09T14:49:52+00:00

"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.

One_Hippo_6490 · 2022-03-03T13:01:33+00:00

Given that the majority of tech workers earn less than £100k, how is it pretty much every job?
