    Hi,

    I left my job at the age of 25 and started Actuarial Science. I am 27 now and still jobless. So do make sure that you dont leave your current job if you are planning to start it. Also, can’t comment about all organisations but yes I have heard about one or two organisations that are reluctant to take candidates like us and would rather prefer only fresh graduates. So do make your choice wisely.

    Thanks.

    Hi

    Thanks for your input. Have you been able to figure out that why have you not been able to land a job yet? I mean if you have 3-4 or more papers passed and have knowledge or excel/sql/R etc then I believe you should have been able to land a job in this time period.

    Would request someone close to HR matters in actuarial firms to comment on the matter; that whether a candidate is considered unfavorable when he/she passes a certain age
