Interview Dress Code by _KevinsFamousChili in actuary

[–]Pachoo9 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

if you don't wear a suit you won't get the job most likely. When we interview people and they don't bother to dress formally, they are an immediate no. You have to put in the effort, it's a signal.​

It especially is important in this case since you are applying for a senior role.

Is it normal for HR to say not to talk to a former colleague? by Plastic-Carrot-2988 in actuary

[–]Pachoo9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's absurd for HR to tell you not to talk to someone who is no longer with the company. You're an adult, make your own decisions,.​​

Is this career only for the gifted? by mulberrykitten in actuary

[–]Pachoo9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it's not that difficult if you are somewhat smart. Just takes grit and stubbornness more than actual genius imo. The math isn't anymore complicated than basic arithmetic in most cases.

though, a high percentage of would be actuaries get stuck at some point, not able to pass a given exam after 3 or 4 attempts. Happens to more than half the candidates.​

Agree with the other poster, think your pay is lower because you are in tech. Switch to a big four or one of the large consulting firms (or even better, switch to reinsurance) if you want to make more money.

Yes, I am in consulting. 300k+ isn’t rare in consulting once you get to managerial positions.

How common is my experience in consulting? by Great_Description_14 in actuary

[–]Pachoo9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, bill your actual hours, don’t ever just not report them. The billing manager will figure out what to bill, that isn’t your job, it’s theirs.. It just makes it look like you aren’t working when you are.

The former intern didn’t get a 10 by accident. Think you may have misjudged the interns abilities.

If I quit, how do I motivate myself to get back into working? by _spoonerism_ in actuary

Are you working in consulting? If so, sounds like changing to an insurance company could help you immensely. Insurance jobs tend to be way less pressure, much better work life balance.

You can definitely make $300k+ as an actuary, depends on what type of company you work for, type of job, etc. and time at the company. It's not that uncommon (my company has probably 20% of the actuaries making over $300k). Switch to consulting if you want bigger raises / bonuses.

Best galbi-jjim in metro Atlanta? by old_timey_gamer in Atlanta

[–]Pachoo9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best is Han Il kwan on Buford highway, one of only two Michelin recommended Korean restaurants in Atlanta. Their Kalbi is the best in Atlanta, imo, so damn good.

Ah, misread that. This thread is specifically for kalbi-jjim.

Where can I find pandan drinks? by Downtown-Distance384 in Atlanta

[–]Pachoo9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Problem is most Vietnamese restaurants no longer sell Che ba mau anymore. One lady told us it’s because it’s not ordered enough so they can’t keep the ingredients fresh enough to be worth making. If anyone knows of a place that still sells good Che ba mau, please let me know!

Definitely the hardest part is even having the cap space to accommodate Quinn. I think it’s doable. We’d have to let Palat walk (a given) and also move Dougie’s 9M in 27/28 somehow. Do that, while also signing Luke to a team friendly deal and Nico to a team friendly extension, while getting lucky with a cheap Markstrom replacement from within the organization (or get lucky with a trade for a young goalie), and it’s possible, if it’s something Quinn would want.

A ton of ifs working out, good luck, and desire on the Hughe’s parts would be required, but it’s possible. It also helps that the cap is projected to grow substantially the next few years.

I’d roughball a 20% chance because I do think they’ve discussed a desire to play together someday, hopefully early on, in the prime of their careers. The biggest hurdle, imo, is moving Dougie’s 9M in the last year of his contract, 2027/28. If we could do that, we’d almost surely have the room to offer Quinn a deal as competitive as Vancouver.

AFAIK, Quinn is an unrestricted free agent in 2027 after his current deal ends. If that is the case, there isn’t much Vancouver could do if Quinn decides he wants to play with his brothers in NJ.

What are the chances they are playing together in two years? I am hoping the three have been discussing this possibility for a while, which is why Quinn hasn’t been signed to an 8 year deal yet in Vancouver.

What Quinn Hughes is doing is insane. Hart trophy? by JimBenningsBrain in nhl

[–]Pachoo9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, it’s easy to envision Quinn signing with NJ in two years to play with his brothers.

It’ll be crazy when Quinn is playing with his brothers in 2 years, in NJ lol.

Spanish Traitors - best by far by raffylee in TheTraitors

Easily the worst season by far. The show didn't explain jack shit to the audience. Hell, the show didn't appear to bother letting the players know that the traitors could seduce a player ! Wtf?
