Yes if pay is enough. I’m doing it for like a 40% raise. So in this market the money should be spectacular.

STM1, are you going to industry? Would you mind sharing some details?

If the raise is big and you plan on staying at least another year, yes.

I am not sure it is a correct choice because most people say move, dont wait because they should have promoted you. Nothing guaranteed at CR for next year promotion😂

You’ll get the raise but then they’ll eventually even you out

Yes but this is a LATERAL MOVE. So let’s say you’re a first year senior and you move to another firm for more money and that’s already at the higher end you could be stuck at the same salary before Manager. And that’s assuming you have your CPA. Many seniors don’t have their CPA and is most likely still trying but struggling to manage all and eventually not get it all.

Only if you switch LoS, if you want to stay in the same LoS switch to a B4 or boutique firm

It doesn’t look good on your resume to go from GT audit to RSM audit for instance

Currently struggling with lack of motivation. I’m in my 3rd year at my firm and when I started I was hitting 9+ billable per day before I left the office. Now, the saying: when there’s no consequence for poor work ethic, and no reward for good work ethic, there is no motivation” hits home. Over the past two years I’ve seen the opposite of indispensable employees. Yet, they sit at the same table as I do and make more. Any advice?

Interested to know others’ thoughts: would you consider the actuarial profession to be recession proof? Do you think there are some tracks that are more protected than others? From where I sit, it’s hard to imagine a layoff of actuaries in my group (health consulting); we have more work than we can handle and are still actively recruiting.

Some of you really only bill 17/1800 hours? Are you just busy doing non-billable work or you just don’t have enough work coming to you? If it’s because you don’t have enough work does that mean you have your evenings and weekends to yourself too? Could you maybe help the rest of us out who never get either?

Cancel tomorrow and Friday interviews or no cancel and potentially get an offer and decline?
