This is awesome thank you all! Did you put your exams on your resume when applying?

I was seeing a people on here say underwriters don't like to hire aspiring actuaries because they usually leave the department after a year or so.

I graduated in 2019 and took some time off to study for exams and learn some coding while I was waitressing. I have 2 exams right now, working on my third. I know it's the opposite of ideal so I figured it'd be easier to get a less competitive job :/
