Can attest to that. Most of the actuaries that started with me went to industry.
Main con is lack of variety in the work. Most jobs in industry are quite narrow in scope and you have to wait for your boss to die/resign before you can get promoted.

Does anyone know if this is normal? I joined a vault 100 firm in September last year. The firm put me on tier 7. In January I had the associate review and everything was normal. After a couple of weeks, I got the call from the hiring partner telling my bonus and new salary (because of the firm-wide salary increase). I realized I still get paid as a 7 year associate. The partner said because I joined the firm later in the year, it’s normal not to advance in the next year. Is it? Thanks!
