If I had to speak for myself, the reason why I left ActSci is: after three years of exposure to this industry, I am generally unimpressed. I don't think Actuarial Science, while interesting, quite lives up to it's reputation as an intellectually challenging and stimulating profession.

If you want to do intellectually challenging and interesting things do a graduate degree in natural sciences or economics. Actuarians are not researchers they deal with tedious but not technically challenging tasks

I compare studying Actuarial Science to Survivor on a very regular basis and I am so happy I am not crazy for doing that.

Quant Finance isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. I was really seeking a career in the field, but I have friends in NYC who have M.S.s and Ph.D.s. from Columbia/M.I.T. that have 10 or more years of experience but are out of work. It’s also worth noting that most of your life is spent dealing with hateful management, very long work hours (> 70/week), and maintaining C++ code written as early as the 80s.

The profession USED to be the way it's portrayed. Now it's high pressure, high stress, short-term focused...

I do get what he's saying. Actuarial science is more of logic than intense mathematics. Mathematical finance is more Intellectually challenging
