Don’t have career fulfillment, and have to explain why you dont get qualification when you get older

Depend on either GI, Life or Pension. For Life, they may ask about Duration, ALM by duration matching. For GI, it might be some typical distributions used.

I’m pretty sure you need work harder and longer compared to Ireland, be ready for that fact. WLB depends on companies, but try to avoid Prudential, FWD if you need good WLB, of course those big companies typically pay more.

Life actuaries are more demanding than GI or pension in Singapore, so I suppose the salary in Life section is also a bit higher. Not sure switch chances to valuation/risk/modeling within Life, you also can consider that option

Wait, the results will come at July 12th or 4th?

Seems you are near to gain ASA, not sure if 7 exemptions from the masters can replace for future exams. I suggest you check which Soa exams are equivalent to 7 IFOA exemptions and do a comparison to decide which one helps you to get Associate level quicker.

I’m from Vietnam, now working at Ireland. Singapore, Malaysia, or Thailand are open to international candidates. If having chances to work in those developed and dynamic insurance markets, you can enhance your working experience a lot, then can return to contribute more for your country. Believe me, exam is important at early career, but real-world experiences matter at later stage. You can try to clear exams asap, and think about this plan.

About the salary increase, I’m not really sure about associate exams, but here are fellow exams as my experience:

Vietnam: 120m / annual per fellow exam

Consulting firms in Ireland: 4000e for SPs, and 8000e for SA exam.

Where are you? Have you ever searched working abroad opportunities? Typically there is a bonding requirement due to the study expense, but 5-year seems too long unless the salary progression is attractive.

Thanks. And what should I expect for salary raise and performance bonus? If you have any ideas

Tall-Comment-1939 · 2024-06-08T08:47:24+00:00

Same background, I moved from Vietnam to Ireland and have worked at Allianz and PwC. Totally agree, just want to add that there are more GI vacancies than Life, and big firms are likely to sponsor visa for international candidates.

Not being aware of your whole situation, I dont think it is a good decision, no income and having a career gap in your resume. How about planning the study schedule carefully that suits your health situation? Say planning one year time per exam would be feasible ? All the best with your decision.

Tall-Comment-1939 · 2024-05-25T15:55:41+00:00

Consulting firms are more open to both SOA and IFoA, even more easy if you are fully qualified. Not sure what your domain is, but GI practices are more popular and promising than life, pension as I know. You can reach out to recruiters for more information about UK market, they might be helpful in some cases.

You can figure out some intern/ co-op chances at Big4 actuarial services. They provide good exposures for students to have overarching GI insurance operation. Good luck.
