Wait till they implement future posting methods, and you'll see newbies starting out with like 7k posts.

Then there are all of those transition rules that will be employed when they change the Exams around . . . some will gain PC . . . but a lot more will likely lose hard-earned PC.

Such is life.

Just wondering, why did you feel valuation is boring?
Simple tasks? Repetitive? Moot fake work that really has no real use to the company? All of the above? Other?

All of the above, pretty much. The tasks weren't simple though.

ic, i always thought valuation is pretty cool. The only thing that would bug me is if I am doing moot work. Pretty discouraging.

it's a man's life in life.....


ok, i had a hell of a time in valuation, but i learned so much in one year doing that. depends on the product, of course, but all sorts of crazy stuff pops up unexpectedly.

hell, i think all pricing actuaries should do a stint in valuation before they get to price. b.c valuation ends up having to explain your mistakes.
