Want to be an actuary? Odds are, you’ll fail the test
From experience from a few close friends: Actuarial science is always in the lists of top jobs but it&#x27;s a terrible career. It&#x27;s quite limiting and doesn&#x27;t pay particularly well. The companies are all old and stagnant and the amount of time put in to studying for exams is taxing. It&#x27;d be much better ROI to put that time into studying for sw-eng roles. That is, unless you&#x27;re particularly interested in memorizing math formulas for insurance calculations
