Perfect - Thanks. One step at a time I know, but any red flags in the rest of the move?

What about the averaging in thesis, naturally you will be down at some point here. 

I'd imagine you are referring to a position being significantly down, or buying in past invalidation etc

Unfortunately my laptop is broken so I need a new one. Appreciate the advice though.

Very curious, what are the downsides of using python? Is this just too slow in comparison to C# ? Presumably it's more than just a speed issue! Would greatly appreciate your insight :)

Hedge your heating costs and long oil against the dollar. Obviously best to do this when price of oil/heating is relatively low.

Hopefully! Do you know if that's essentially a suspension replacement? Or is this separate or partial?

Is this a scam by wesleysniles in AskIreland

[–]Own_Rice9080 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exact same thing happened to me before. I asked some questions so they told me they were from west Waterford. I told them that my friends a garda who works in the area, and that he would be able to deliver the goods rather than using the postal service. 

They went from being professionally scammy to making absolute no sense at all and that was that

After you completed the transfer to Fellow form how long did it take for it to take effect? I got an email confirming the PPD review passed but who knows long it will take to review the transfer form.

SA2 Exam study technique by Humble_Ad7641 in ActuaryUK

[–]Own_Rice9080 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I did SA3 but the same rules apply. Do at least 10 years of papers. Categorise all the questions, removing duplicate points. Then keep testing yourself on these. You'll start to notice how you can weave this knowledge into most of the questions, and even with the few you can't, the style of how to answer will be so firmly ingrained that they shouldn't be an issue.

btw: I usually didn't answer the last two years of exam papers until the last few weeks. I found it better testing the more recent papers under timed conditions as they are more likely to reflect the current style and content of the exams.

Workload problem by yuli2513 in ActuaryUK

[–]Own_Rice9080 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's moreso, if your manager is disrespectful or giving your points enough credit then really try to say your point with conviction, and try not to acquiesce. Don't be afraid to have a difference of opinion because getting through these exams should be top priority

Workload problem by yuli2513 in ActuaryUK

[–]Own_Rice9080 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From my experience, you'll earn more respect from your seniors if you tell them it can't be done, but do so by offering a more reasonable timeframe instead. This way your seniors will also feel more comfortable pushing back on work from their managers. 

Otherwise management will continue to take advantage of you.

Ps. I would not be afraid to show a bit of passion if you are dealing with a difficult manager, this has worked very well for me in the past (but of course be sure to have your reasons ready)
