 Hi all,

Came across this forum recently whilst searching for actuarial firms in Pakistan. Been impressed with the knowledge on this site - particularly thankful to those who have given information about actuarial companies/actuaries in Pakistan. Its good to have a forum like this where aspiring Pakistani professionals both inside and outside the homeland can interact.

I am currently in the final year of my undergrad degree in the UK (BSc Maths, Operations Research, Stats and Econ at Warwick) , and am hoping to join the actuarial profession upon graduation. Although I am in the UK, I am considering whether to go via the SOA route and take one or two of their preliminary exams to start off with. Would be interested to hear the opinions of those studying for the SOA exams - from what I understand, they are multiple choice ( atleast the first few)? How do you guys find the difficulty/depth of material? For those in Pakistan, are you employed and taking these exams side by side, or just studying full time? If you are in employment, does the firm you are working with in Pak sponsor you to any extent (e.g. with exam fees or study material)?

I don't think there are many people on the forum working in a Pakistani actuarial firm. You might be interested in exploring a similar thread on Orkut, which is a lot more active especially for actuarial community.

Since you have studied at a premier institution of UK, have you considered applying for an actuarial role in the UK? Why have you decided to pursue the american system? Did you take any of the actuarial modules available within your degree and how did you do them?
