Congrats! you explained actuarial work in P&C in such a compelling way that no one gave a dislike. There was something about watching your videos that made the decision easy for me to follow the path. I hope to cross paths with you again in the near future where the environment is less stressful. Btw it feels great to take that Monday off when you consistently work overtime after 5

Hi. First video of yours I've seen and I have to say I love your energy and enthusiasm for what you do. Totally not the kind of person I expected from the image people have of those that work in insurance lol. I'm trying to get a handle on what actuaries do and one very basic question that I still don't know after reading a couple articles and watching your video is, who do you deal with as an actuary? You mentioned you determine "who" to charge more and who to charge less but is that down to an individual client or still in the categories? Would someone who is buying insurance talk to an actuary to have their risk level assessed? You see what I mean?

As part of the pricing team, do you ever calculate the elasticity of demand from increasing the price of auto/home insurance at renewals per year? Do you know why certain companies including ours no longer offer 2 year policies and do you support that decision?
@Actuaryelle4 жыл бұрын
Yes we consider elasticity and quote competitiveness 😊 I don't know why 2 year policies fell out of fashion, but I'm in favor. Makes my calculations simpler 🤷♀️

Question. Do you think there's a timeframe to become an actuary? For example, would you say it's too late for a 26 year old to start pursuing this?
@Actuaryelle4 жыл бұрын
Its definitely not too late, I know people who have started later, but its definitely harder. It's a lot of years of studying for actuarial exams. You have to ask yourself if you want to be 32 and studying for exams. If you have kids, do you want to take time away from being with them to study? I know people with kids who make that sacrifice, but it's a personal decision that should be considered seriously

@@Actuaryelle Thank you so much for the reply. I have no kids or significant other and have studied before for the P exam but decided it better to finish my B.S degree first. I actually work for an insurance company now but obviously not as an actuary. I always been aspired to be one since graduating college but you know how life can be.....Thank you again!

Thanks a lot for sharing the valuable knowledge with us. I have few questions, if you can help me to get clarified with that, it will be a really great. 1. I am studying actuary from Institute of Actuary India. But, i am planing to move into Canada in next year. Is the actuary degree (from India) mutually recognized in Canada? Or, do i need to get membership and pass exam from IFOA (Actuary body in UK)? 2. I am currently working as a data scientist in Software company and having 8+ years of experience in programming & data analytics. Is this data science knowledge/skill set helpful to get job in actuary or in professional life of actuary? 3. I am 30 years old and have started studying actuary now. Is it already too late to get started in actuary career? I am really looking forward for a response. Thanks, Kalyan
@Actuaryelle4 жыл бұрын
Hi! Thanks for reaching out! 1. I'm not an expert on mutual recognition, but my gut tells me that you would need to get IFOA exams, which can then be recognized by the Canadian Institute of Actuaries 2. Data science is incredibly important and a relevant skill for actuaries 3. Never too old Good luck!!
