Following a very successful event in Melbourne, which recorded the highest turnout for a Melbourne Young Actuaries Program event (72 attendees), we are looking forward to hosting the Young Actuaries Program event on Wednesday 30th July at 5.30pm. The focus of the discussion will be to help the attendees make the most informed decisions on their respective career paths and we will be discussing the following topics:
- The Sydney actuarial job market
Lots of people are changing roles – wonder why? - Remuneration trends for different practice areas and experience levels
Are you remunerated in line with the market and your peers? - Overseas opportunities
Have you considered moving to Asia or elsewhere? - Non-traditional opportunities for actuaries
Ever wondered where else you could apply your actuarial skill set?
Given the current shortage of actuaries/actuarial analysts, especially in life insurance, the remuneration increases seen in the last year have been very significant. It goes to show that actuarial skill set is highly sought after even during these troubled and lean times for life insurance. There are some positive trends in other sectors too.
Look forward to seeing you all there.
