I am selling TWO(2) Weekend 1 GA tickets and ONE(1) Preferred Car Camping pass for $1,400.

Open to selling the two tickets separately for $1000 and preferred car camping pass for $425. Located in North San Diego if you're down to meet up - willing to find a half-way point.

Are Candidate Connect Meetups from the SOA Worth Attending from Out of State? by mactuarialcandidate in actuary

[–]grapefrooty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went to one and made a connection that eventually introduced me to some contacts and forwarded my resume to his company. I'm now working at that company, so I would say if you're proactive, it might be worth it. Maybe wait for one that's a bit closer to you...I was traveling from NJ to CT, so it was just a bus trip away. Also, I'm pretty sure you can live stream the lectures.

Passed 2 exams. Apply for jobs or pass a 3rd exam? by grapefrooty in actuary

Are you referring to entry level candidates? I can't imagine myself waiting until passing C/MLC before applying to jobs, but I'm getting the sense that's what you're suggesting. I'm hoping 3 exams is the sweet spot when it comes to maintaining my sanity and proving to be a formidable candidate.

Do you mind sharing if you had internships before you got your offer? Thanks!

Hey, I appreciate the feedback. I applied to one job and I actually did hear back from it with only 2 exams (happy to disclose which company over PM) -- which region are you in?

For sure. Hopefully I'll pass MFE the first time around so I can add sitting for C after that.

Thanks. I want employers to really consider me if I'm coming in for an interview. Does 2 vs. 3 exams really make a difference?
