两天前才问的SFU那边的动静，今天就很“nice”的发了一个拒信。

Anyway，跟精算没缘吧，投奔金融了

If I had the admission from Waterloo MQF, I will even don't bother about the SFU Actuarial science one.....

I had taken this into consideration already...........
I will definitly sugges the MQF even one is going to actuarial science

since actuarial science don't need master, but exam paper.......
as a statistics graduate, I guess the first few paper will be easy for you, even without the master.

1/P: piece of cake after year 1/2
2/FM: also easy......and indeed it is finance instead of act. sci.
3/MLC: actuarial math I & II + stochastic process, i guess you had stochastic b4 already.
3/MFE: this is MQF side stuffs
4/C: loss model + creditbility + survival; i guess you must have the last one, and maybe also the first two indeed.....

as a actuarial science master seldom go up to FAP (or eqv) level......the MQF is partial covering the investment stream to that...........and thus I don't see the point of doing a actuarial master.

=> the choice is so obvious....unless you had decision to go on the life/non-life stream for CAS/SoA...

找工作啊，我是自己随手考了前3门，一个没有实习经验的国际生，就算考完了前5门也基本不可能找到精算entry level的职位，entry level已经灰常饱和了。

读MQF难道有机会找精算方向的职位么？

well.......get what you mean then......hoping for the co-op.......or the connection of the department to land an internship.

but should "entry level已经灰常饱和了" means that one should better aviod it?

i guess you can still try insurance company as actuary, not for the pricing and reserve, but more on the portfolio, risk side after your MQF. Indeed not really far away......

being in quantitative finance doesn't mean you are out of the actuarial science field, indeed actuarial science is somehow like using statistical (quantitative of course) method to solve problem in insurance (which is finance for sure).


e.g. list from MQF:
Companies that hired our interns and grads in 2012. (several companies hired more than one)

Bank of Montreal
Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce
Canada Pension Plan Investment Board
Jackson National Life Insurance Company
Manulife Financial
Numerix
Ontario Teacher's Pension Plan
Scotia Capital
Scotia Bank
TD Bank Financial Group
R2 Financial
Price Waterhouse Coopers

you can see a few pension and insurance company in it.....

you got my point, and that is why I apply for MQF rather than M.Math of Act sci in waterloo.

Entry level nearly fully occupied, but senior level is rewarded. Therefore, it was ok for me to keep working on it before.

However, there is no way for me to consider Act Sci right now.

Indeed, MQF is a good choice.
