Any actuarial consultants move into other insurance roles? What was the change and why did you make it?

I did a stint in financial DD for insurance m&a before current role. Was interesting due to being higher up the food chain than technical actuarial work but was too accounting focussed and too repetitive/process driven for me so moved on.

Mgmt consulting, but insurance clients - would be wasteful otherwise!

Yeah UK qualified.
It’s faster/more intense here as expected, but more interesting. Early days still but all good so far and I expect the background will remain useful.

Hmm good q. Not explicitly but I guess it featured in the interviews through discussion of previous work. Bar it maybe helping to get the first interview, I don’t think there’s much interest in having the letters per se. More about your performance in the role etc.
Though I think fair to say that applying as an experienced hire, it will be noted that you are in an advanced role in the insurance field vs e.g. if you were a broker.

BCG1, are you back in actuarial? Or moved on to Mgmt consulting?

How’re you liking it so far? Are you a credentialed actuary? How was the lifestyle change?

BCG1, how did your market your credential during the interview process?

Seeking feedback on GAP insurance. I had a family member who purchased a car in June or July. They were in an accident last week and it sounds like the car will be declared a total loss. Never dealt with this before, so wanted to ask if anyone has ever had an instance where the insurance didn't cover the outstanding balance of the loan and the insured then owed money? Car was $35k, $7k down, finance $28k. Gap insurance is through lender, not auto insurer.
