I run data science and data engineering org and we have no actuaries. Strong math, lots of physics, engineering, econometrics majors. Typically a DS masters with about 15% PhDs in a grad science major or DS. The DE people are dominated by MS with certs in AWS. GCP and / or Azure.

The group has a few hundred people.

Coaching Actuaries is the best resource IMO. Varying subscriptions are nice depending on if you want quizzes, tests, videos, etc. and for how long you want it for.

Thank you for your kindness!

I’ve only tried Coaching Actuaries but I’ve taken 5 exams and have had a really good experience. I haven’t heard as good of reviews about TIA… anything other than those two is going to be outdated and not have the same pool of questions or quality manuals
