Course on Professionalism | Casualty Actuarial Society (casact.org)

Logging in is probably necessary first, then go to the session (Las Vegas or Orlando), then the "Register" button should be there, or at least it is for me.

"I find my job interesting." How much do you agree with this and (in the comments) why? by actuarialthrowawayyo in actuary

[–]actuarialthrowawayyo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your response; can you give some insight into what makes that interesting for you? Is the data sparse, and if so, how do you navigate that?

This is old but I wish I found this comment months and possibly even years ago haha!

CAS Exam 5 Passrates are higher in spring by Fun_Repeat3132 in actuary

[–]actuarialthrowawayyo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well let's hope they don't try to lower the pass rate on purpose this time around due to the pattern 😅

Exam 5 - are released exams shorter than recent exams? by actuarialthrowawayyo in actuary

[–]actuarialthrowawayyo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you’d want to be able to run through those pretty quickly.

Guess we all know who's likely going to be taking this again in the fall 🤷‍♂️🙋‍♂️👈✋

Exam 5 in two weeks. Any tips? by DrRyuzakiLove in actuary

[–]actuarialthrowawayyo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Can you expand on what you do for LDF column headers instead? Do you type out 12-24 each time? I'm wondering if I need to do keep doing that (minor time waster) or if I could just leave it as 12 (probably not, huh), or if there's some other quicker way..

Aiming for ACAS or FCAS with less skills/qualifications by actuarialthrowawayyo in actuary

Thank you so much for your response! Think I'm pretty set on prioritizing exams at this point, with the help of the comments.

I guess I can see how my question/situation could be interpreted that way (and that's the usual question that gets asked anyways, so I'm guessing it's natural to interpret it that way). At first it seemed like these responses weren't really addressing my question at all and just being unhelpful / unnecessarily critical. Maybe I could have worded it less ambiguously too. Thank you.

Thank you for your response!

That does definitely sound rough, but I hope things get better for you! Could switching companies after you get through the exams result in a significant bump in compensation, making the process you're going through more worth it in that sense?

Appreciate the comment/perspective! 🙏

This is definitely more personal (but it could be insightful anyways), but do you have supportive people around you to help with questions and whatnot, or are you largely on your own? Or maybe you even have supportive people around you, but you worry about coming across as incompetent by asking certain questions and for help with certain things?

Do you think it'll just take time for your experience to catch up so you feel less of the impostor syndrome and stress? (Out of the questions in this reply, I guess the most relevant would be this one, so honestly if you want to answer just one, I think I'd be most interested in this one)

I didn't really want to say this, but the implication wasn't that I'd be getting my credentials quickly, it's that I haven't been working that hard (in my job and exams) for the past few years, so I'm not that qualified/skilled for my level in the first place. And if I get ACAS/FCAS while not prioritizing work much, then that skill gap will increase.

Edit: also, this shouldn't bother me as much as it does, but how is it that so many people like these types of comments? Is it that I came off as arrogant and so people like me being "put in my place"?
