I am an actuary practicing in US and started my career in Pakistan some 10 years ago.
There are various actuarial consulting firms in Pak. And there are at least 4/5 big life a dn group insurance companies.
Let me say this, Pak consulting companies have some of the best actuaries around. I will maintain that my previous company in Pak can compete on quality with any employer i have worked for in USA. Pak actuaries are more knowledgable and more committed. i havent found anything as real as when i worked in pak. but since it pays better i am in US.
there used to be a pakistani actuarial society. donno if it still exists. state life has an actuarial training scheme.
on a side note, you cant become an actuary by going to college for it. not in pak, not in usa, not anywhere in the world. you can only be called an actuary after you have passed professional exams.
word.
what up dawg?
