Freshman in Pension

[Afac_8]

Hi all,
I’m going to start a new job as Pension Actuarial Analyst very soon.
I work/ed in Insurance/Consultancy, but not Pension nor Actuarial role until now.

What are you advices to “survive” ? What is you experience in Pension compared to other jobs?

Get out as soon as you can find another job.

Why?

pension work for large firms involves keeping your head down, learning every day, working intently, but getting good pay. It is a billing machine, much like law clerking.
pension work for smaller firms is much more about keeping current with the market place, trying to understand the many arcane references to past law changes, and timely attention to filing deadlines.
Both are good careers, but neither is about science.
