I know the network on here is still super small but - what are people’s thoughts about the recent craziness in the labor market:

impacting the actuarial world equally / not as much / more?


I’ve planned for a while to stick around at my current company at least until 2023, but have been considering opening up to recruiters with all the activity the past several months.

Thanks for reengaging the group! I'm curious on your question as well! Are you thinking about inflation / wage growth or other events like Root and Geico slashing personnel?

I just moved and ive had a nice salary bump and superior position too. There is a lot of movement everywhere. It is a bit crazy. Note that I am in Canada, but I understand that the craze to hire is in all of North Anerica as my company is not just in Canada

Oh interesting, I’m on the Life side so I hadn’t heard about Root and Geico - I’m sure that’s causing a big stir for the P&C market!

I was just referring to general inflation / wage growth, as well as what feels like a massive surge in employee feelings of entitlement.

Seems like a great time to be joining as a new hire / looking for offers, and a terrible time to be hiring. And I was curious if that was as true for Actuaries as it seems to be for most people on Fishbowl lately.

I actually did recently hear from an actuary on the hiring side that they’ve been surprised by some of the demands and what feel like unrealistic expectations coming from multiple candidates.
So to me it seems like Actuarial is being impacted similarly to other job markets.

I started looking for new opportunities and feels like there's a great demand now

I am wondering what doors/opportunities I have if I were to utilize my masters degree?

I am currently a Senior Consultant in KPMG Australia’s human capital advisory function - however I have been recently offered a role with Accenture Australia’s human capital advisory function as an ‘Associate Manager’ with a 15K salary bump and an enticing bonus structure - with some very cool clients that they mentioned to me in their interview round. The issue is, my KPMG Partner has mentioned that I *may* be up for promotion nxt July. I am so stuck, not sure whether to take it or not.
