QUOTE(xeromatter @ Apr 13 2012, 12:04 AM) @jonrwg No. Can't be bothered. I've gone through enough open evenings and talked to quite a number of actuaries/actuarial trainees and I think I can grasp what is it that they do. Because when someone commented that working for PWC after studying Actuarial would be a waste, as opposed to working at the SC, you appeared to agree. That is strange, because at least PWC has Assurance. PWC in Malaysia may or may not have actuarial positions but it does overseas. FSA/SC seems to be more Accounting-related. I may be wrong but an Actuarial education at the undergraduate level shouldn't really have much to do with compliance and financial regulation. I think some don't even study enough Financial Reporting (LSE). So I don't see how going to PWC is a waste if the SC is forgone. @LightningFist Yes, yes and yes. I'm not here to debate whether which is more related to my qualification. I'm asking about the "realities" of working with them, particularly on the career progression which still goes unanswered. I am leaning towards SC, just so you know. Bukit Kiara seems like a nice place lol. I understand you're concerned about career prospects rather than trivial things like "is my background going to matter". |
