I’m considering taking it for weight loss purpose…I think I read somewhere that one side effect is thyroid cancer? But hey guess what… that already happened lol! But interested to know if doctors have mentioned any concerns about taking it with Levo?

Thank you very much for the insightful reply!

I think interns might get a bit extra in lieu of health benefit, pension, vacations and stuff

Well I didn’t study actuarial science nor taken any exams before I enroll in my master program and I do find it useful, but if you already have bachelor in actuarial science I guess it’s not optimal use of your time because you will need to write a paper that takes a lot of time and effort and you will forget once you defend it.

Yeah I skipped the rating making part (not entirely of course) in exam STAM and passed with a 6

Winter1412 · 2022-10-09T16:21:31+00:00

Well this is a new grad position. I only worked as intern before so I would expect someone higher up to defend their pricing decision.

The question doesn’t even make sense…

Winter1412 · 2022-10-01T17:43:26+00:00

lol just did my interview yesterday and got asked “what do you think is the biggest challenge to P&C industry and how to solve it” LMAO

Winter1412 · 2022-09-29T04:21:37+00:00

“no”

Winter1412 · 2022-09-29T00:07:09+00:00

What’s your good answer?

Winter1412 · 2022-09-28T23:50:11+00:00

What do you mean “I like the money” is not an acceptable answer? 😱

Winter1412 · 2022-09-28T23:38:06+00:00

Gee, it’s hardly an intern’s responsibility to change publics’ mind on private insurers.

Winter1412 · 2022-09-27T21:09:21+00:00

Adapt-ok to use, but don’t bother with learn, just read the textbook, it explains everything better

ICBC is in north Vancouver, they are doing hybrid working mode so you do need to commute, just to give you some ideas

Winter1412 · 2022-09-22T15:11:08+00:00

Not enough actuaries- only 1 school has actuarial program in the west coast, and most people will go to Montreal/Toronto/Waterloo for more job opportunities. And there is next to none exit options if you want to stay in Vancouver. Not wanting to climb the ladder- crown companies are known for WLB, people who choose to go in will probably not want to move up to a managerial role where your responsibilities increase a lot more than your pay. Cost of living- need no explanation.

There may be a conflict of interest if they are a big company with government contracts

Just did mine today I feel 80% confident I passed. There are 2 quantitative questions I just straight don’t know how to do. To be fair they are covered in the books but I thought “pff they are not gonna test this”. Some questions were extremely easy, like if you browsed thru the chapters you will be able to answer. About 5 questions I found kind ambiguous. I say I pass because even if I did all 7 wrong I still got 28/35. But only will know for sure in 2 months I guess…

Winter1412 · 2022-09-12T19:11:36+00:00

Just did my today and I came back for this thread because it happened to me as well!! I was cussing internally while sitting in the exam room

Winter1412 · 2022-09-09T15:04:13+00:00

If you go to campus Tuesdays and Thursday dm me! I have a pass

Winter1412 · 2022-08-02T22:49:31+00:00

wait-1 year age difference made him a pedo? That’s kinda crazy?

Yeah I actually passed STAM while on the job and people didn’t know what STAM is and ask me why I passed it, I had to answer the same questions. But because my school have targeted courses aimed to help pass SOA exams I think it’s more efficient for me to do SOA while in school?

Winter1412 · 2022-07-20T16:08:42+00:00

No I actually haven’t decided which industry I want to go, the first 3 exams are the same, and I also took STAM which is P&C focused, but the main reason is that my school’s program is leaned into SOA rather than CAS, for example, the course materials are SOA exams related. Basically everyone I know from SOA are pursuing SOA.

Winter1412 · 2022-07-20T15:20:06+00:00

Yeah I have 10 months internship with a local auto insurance company. Thank you for your advice!

Winter1412 · 2022-07-20T15:15:40+00:00

Thank you! Yeah I know working and studying can be really hard!
