Which one is better in terms of salary and growth opportunity, Graduate non-life Actuarial at EY or a FT position as Actuarial analyst at Willis Towers Watson ? I'm graduating this summer.. Any insights would be appreciated!

EY has a really strong insurance practice and the actuaries get to support a far wider range of projects than at WTW because of the wider firm. I did my grad scheme at TW (as it was then) and I would recommend EY over WTW.

Willis Towers Watson has a reputation for specialising in Insurance while EY is more generalist. If you are sure about the path you’re taking, WTW. If you are open to exploring other areas outside actuary, then EY.

Specialising in an area is much better for growth and salary, while if you are unsure then EY.

If you’re graduating this summer and have not accepted a full time offer, it could be a moot point based on opportunities available.

If I’m understanding right that it’s non-actuarial at EY you won’t be in the actuarial department. You won’t end up working with them/doing any actuarial work. So I’d recommend wtw but if I misread that I think EY actuarial dept > wtw actuarial dept

Kind of weird that SC1 is suggesting WTW is mostly insurance, I would go with the opposing view that it’s mostly retirement for actuaries.
