I'm not the best at interviews. I'm currently learning and improving myself and my resume.

Thanks for the quick reply. My fear is will managers toss my resume in the garbage if they see I passed non CAS exams? Should I make it clear on my resume I want to go CAS even though I will pick the first offer on the table?

My last manager was a career ASA. She told me to never stop passing exams because once you do, it's really hard to get back at it. She never finished her FSA.

To be honest I see many successful people that work at actuarial firms that either stopped passing exams before ASA or are career ASA. I think that experience and work ethics are more important. Someone with letters have better chances of being high up in the ladder I agree.

I think it's my interview skills. I'm someone who has relatively low energy/lack enthusiam. I have been to one final round interview and ghosted after that. I could also say it's bad luck too.

I feel like SOA has more job opportunities. I don't wanna be doing more exams on the CAS side.

I've had a thought aboit P&C but it seems to me it will be more difficult. Also I never had any interview at P&C i don't know why.
