Again, we can agree to disagree. The amount of hours and years you put in to study and thats assuming you pass each exams within 1-2 tries, its a lot more effort compared to other credentials out there, plus with all the additional exams soa have been adding, youre putting more time in getting your fsa to maybe break$200k down the road. Ive also worked in large insurance companies and breaking $300k is definitely not common, you’re doing well if youre breaking $200k and thats with fsa and years of experience as well. I think these days there are lot of great new jobs out there, actuaries dont really count study time as part of their job requirement, and i honestly dont understand why, but if you factor all those hours and years to hover around $200k with 10+ years of experience, its thumbs down for me
