Any actuaries here get in Insurtech start up? I’m curious about your day to day and how it compares to consulting and/or industry.

They difference for me having been in all three was that in industry the “ways” and “wisdoms” have already been established. In insurertech, it’s a lot of people from outside the industry so they question everything and you make a lot of mistakes but that’s an incredibly valuable experience to know not just why you do things the way you do it but also why not do it a different way. Consulting allows you to observe a wide variety of companies and cultures but you provide value from the outside and don’t get to be part of the team that’s building something in an integral way. Hope that helps. Good luck!
