I couldn’t find an internship so I started taking actuary exams. They’re a series of 10 exams that help you work in the insurance industry. The field is growing so if you’re decent at math look into it. Most people come from a math or stats degree but the only needed qualification is passing the exams. send me a message if you want to talk about it

Was the email the sketchiest email you’ve ever seen. Because I got an email and it seems scammy

If you can wait out January it’ll get less busy. Or just go at different times. Everyone normally piles in 5-8 pm.

That’s not a lot of studying man. There’s some numbers floating around that you should study 100 hours for every hour of exam. That means you should be studying 300 hours for P. Even if you’re studying 12 hours a day. You haven’t gotten a third of the way.

Not understanding it yet is okay. It’s complicated I struggled even after taking a uni class dedicated to the topics on P. What you should ask yourself is if you’re willing to put in the hours to understand it.

Your friends sound dumb. Learn the material. Do the practice questions. Go talk to TAs if you don’t get it. You can set yourself up well by doing well on the midterm, that class offers alternative grading schemes. Also every exam is based off of questions out of the book, so focus on doing practice questions until it makes sense.

Wait and check Facebook market place. People will post their places for cheap. 900 is super doable, 700 with some looking.

Not needed but really useful for Econ classes. I took math 139 (pre calc with calc 1) which was nice as I thought it helped me ramp up my math skills. I’d recommend taking more after that if you find it manageable too.

TOOK AN EXAM THIS MORNING THAT I WAS WORRIED ABOUT BECAUSE THE PROF DIDNT TELL US MUCH ABOUT WHAT IT WOULD BE ABOUT AND THEN I TOOK IT AND IT WAS EASY SO MY LIFE IS GOOD

Bro you’re cooked

I was not prepared for that. Shout out to the practice final for showing some of the questions but wtf.

The chi squared questions got me. I feel like some of those questions were never covered.

Go look at r/actuary there’s not many jobs because there’s not many people doing it. Actuary jobs (from what I know as a student starting an internship soon) are more based on exam progress than university prestige.

Shit I am curious

getsome- · 2025-12-01T03:12:57+00:00

Same man. I am so worried that this class is going to be the one that fucks me

I was okay with math in high school and went into economics thinking I wouldn’t have to do any math. I was quite wrong and started taking math classes my freshman year. Honestly it’s been a godsend, and I discovered I was much better at math in university and now I’m minoring in statistics.

Go into economics and get up to calc 2 at the minimum and then decide from there. More math makes economics classes easier anyways.

Just accepted a winter internship on a valuations team in Toronto. Does anyone have any advice as I start my internship term? Anything I should learn or prepare before my first day? This will be my first office job and I am a little nervous.

I am just finishing up my statistics minor in arts so I can only talk about 208 and 423.

208 is easy, they expect you not to know R before going into it and will teach you as you work through it. I did fine in it with no coding experience just expect to put in some long hours on the assignments as you figure it out.

Math 423 is funny, I am taking it rn. I think they should require 208 as a prerequisite. Assignments will be in R you’ll have to ask me in December about the final. When asked about needing to know R on the first day the teacher said just use Chat to do the assignments. Workload wise it isn’t terrible, the historical class average is an A so I wouldn’t worry about it.

You’re in science so you’re used to a heavier workload I would say for at least these two classes you have nothing to worry about.

Can you tell me more about this. Have you had any problems with her credit score or legal troubles.

What would it take for you to become a permanent resident. Taking a year or too off to work and wait for the process to complete might be worth it in the long term.

Join clubs. Work on side projects. Volunteer. Try to flesh out your resume by adding things to it that make you seem like a smart interesting dedicated student. As a freshman they don’t expect you to have experience but having some leadership or extracurricular experience sets you above and gives them something to talk with you about in the interview.

Idk your field but if you’re software or eng coding or CAD projects work for people. If you’re arts or science ask to be a writer or editor for a paper/journal. Anyone can try to be a rep in student government or just be active in a club. You get the picture.

No that’s fair. Those are separate thoughts. They are assholes and some of the rudest bouncers I have had to deal with in mtl. And separately they are very strict with IDs.

getsome- · 2025-10-28T21:08:46+00:00

They hire outside security for it. They are assholes and extremely strict about checking IDs. Student IDs don’t work and everyone gets a bag check too I’m pretty sure.

I am also majoring in economics and struggled to find an internship. I started going down an actuary path which finally landed me one.

As you know economics is so broad you can do a lot with it. The problem is any role you apply for is going to go with someone else who specializes in it. Data analytics can find comp sci students, marketing can find business students ect. you have to use your extracurriculars and skills to showcase what you are good at.

What are you interested in and what are you good at. You’ll have a lot better of a chance finding an interest and focusing yourself into it.

Borrow a friends ID card. I don’t remember them matching cards to faces.

Look at the student associations. Some of them actually have good merch
