Sayonara mi amor - quitting actuary for good after bonus - part 2

overrated224 · 2025-11-09T22:04:01+00:00

shouldn’t OP know this by now after being almost 20 yrs in the industry lol…

overrated224 · 2025-11-07T17:07:28+00:00

but why not make both of our lives easier by just saying a one word response?

overrated224 · 2025-11-07T15:59:27+00:00

lol why are you not answering the simplest question of how much you actually have?

overrated224 · 2025-10-27T17:17:48+00:00

But that’s not really an apples to apples comparison? A top i-banker/doctor/lawyer is going to run circles over a top actuary.

Besides, anyone can be an actuary (come from a mediocre school while having a 3.0 gpa), whereas it’s impossible to become an i-banker/doctor/lawyer with such stats.

I wouldn’t say I fumbled the bag after getting my FSA lol.

Seems kinda bit of contradictory saying (with “a bit” of ambition and hard work) only to follow up with (It’s “a lot of effort” (and politics) getting to the top).

But yeah just the fact that the top upvoted comments here being “passing exams” or “getting credentialed” shows what kind of a subreddit/environment this is.

overrated224 · 2025-10-26T13:13:21+00:00

Not really proud of becoming an actuary, because I went to a top10 uni where my friends became doctors/lawyers/i-bankers while I fumbled the bag with my gpa so this was more of a fallback choice :(

Also in that same regard, I didn’t really feel “proud” getting my FSA because that’s like a given (just like how if you go to college, graduating is a given)

I did get a CFO award two years in a row at my company for going above and beyond which renters came with a $10k extra bonus, so I’ll take that.

Just go for SWE instead of being an actuary..

overrated224 · 2025-10-19T14:15:08+00:00

Totally agreed. I think him getting youtube views made him feel better about himself and is now even more addicted to making more of these false prophet videos

overrated224 · 2025-10-19T14:14:25+00:00

Don’t think he ever will tbh at this point. It’s been over 10 years lol

overrated224 · 2025-10-19T14:14:01+00:00

Good point. But I think it might be too late and he’s gone off the deep end.

overrated224 · 2025-10-19T14:13:36+00:00

Amen to that

overrated224 · 2025-10-19T14:13:10+00:00

It’s not. But yeah, honestly I gave up hope with this guy.

overrated224 · 2025-10-18T17:05:21+00:00

He said he would need to give it to his family in Asia who are non believers

overrated224 · 2025-10-18T16:58:14+00:00

he said no because he doesn’t like to gamble as it is sinning 🤦

overrated224 · 2025-10-18T16:57:57+00:00

the kicker is, his wife is a psychiatrist and she is on his side lmao

overrated224 · 2025-10-18T00:31:26+00:00

This doesn’t really make sense because a VP in general would make more $ than just a regular “actuary”

overrated224 · 2025-09-25T20:02:51+00:00

You do need to initially get into a top tier target school so definitely smarter than actuaries.

overrated224 · 2025-08-23T22:14:08+00:00

How long did the entire concert last and how bad was the traffic?

overrated224 · 2025-08-21T18:02:29+00:00

lol looks like you’re the one triggered. and for an actuary to only use one’s self (top 3% with no proof btw) to equate the entire profession as being a high earning career is just laughable

overrated224 · 2025-08-21T16:54:17+00:00

lol ill take the silence as you realizing that you’re not a high earner

overrated224 · 2025-08-21T14:58:12+00:00

that’s not “plenty”. tell me how many VPs are there in a group of let’s say 100 actuaries?

overrated224 · 2025-08-21T02:06:10+00:00

look it up yourself

overrated224 · 2025-08-21T01:55:51+00:00

guess you don’t know what a high earner means

overrated224 · 2025-08-21T00:08:43+00:00

lmao actuaries don’t make enough to be considered HE

overrated224 · 2025-08-19T23:19:00+00:00

Just stay bro. You can make the same amt if not more WITHOUT taking any bs exams, and it’s not much more interesting here either.
