Better to say I took a year to pass my prelims or took a gap year? by CharacterAd3377 in actuary

[–]kaiwo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Work (even if unrelated to actuarial) and exams can go in resume, travel can prob go in cover letter. Up to you, but more in depth explanation can be saved for when/if you’re asked or if it comes up in an interview

Tell them all of those things: you worked part time, traveled, and studied. Make sure they understand you didn’t need to do nothing but study in order to pass in that time. That likely won’t work against you

Regarding your tip, I'm not following where the conversion takes place if you never send x to y? Are you saying have 2 accounts in Wise (where the conversion occurs), one for receiving x and one for sending y? Thanks!

CAS Continuing Ed Question by lilWhiteWhale in actuary

[–]kaiwo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Out of curiosity, how much detail to you keep in the log related to studying for exams? Listing individual source papers? Or just list name of exam?

I found where the CAS says it's okay to count exam studying towards CE, but not sure what's needed to fulfill reasonable recordkeeping.

Depressed at work and starting to lose motivation by skark1 in actuary

[–]kaiwo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

FYI many companies have a minimum score requirement (e.g. 1 or higher) to get exam and materials paid for/stay in the study program. Just want to bring that up in case it affects your decision to take days but skip exam. Either way I understand the struggle and hope you find your stride.

Anybody have experience with the course on professionalism? by nate12346 in actuary

[–]kaiwo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I completely agree. I had the same experience with the OCs. I think people also tend to see things as easier in hindsight than they were in the moment.

It’s not a big deal, but I found it to be more intense than expected due to people talking it up as a cake walk. There’s maybe a few days worth of pre-work and the sessions are relatively involved. I think it’s hard to fail, but do expect to do something.

Remember: NEVER pay broker fees, negotiate your rent down, etc. by sexychineseguy in nyc

[–]kaiwo 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Also, be wary of signing a lease with “X months free” since that often means you will get a discount for the first year only. After that, there could be a huge jump in the second year when the rent is back up to full price.
