In a naughty kind of mood
I just got spammed by a new recruiter looking to place a well rounded FCAS with lots of experience. The recruiter actually put desired salary and it's low. I'm tempted to e-mail back "Sounds cheap. What's wrong with them?" :P

Sounds like a legit question to me. Even if you're not really looking for a candidate, it gives the recruiter some extra info - so everyone makes out. Recruiter gets info, you get a cheap laugh.

Yea, I'd do it.
The actuary may just be coming from somewhere that's low paying and isn't aware of salaries. More likely it's because most people have a tough time asking for what they want or higher and think they're doing the right thing by lowballing. So I wouldn't have it reflect on the actuary - but I'd still tweak the nose of the recruiter  .

I'm going to guess "A State Insurance Department."

I don't think this is naughty at all, its good example of good clean fun.
I generally wouldn't hold it against the actuary unless the job was in consulting. A consultant sometimes has to work with a client to set the fee for a particular project. If he can't set an appropriate fee for his own services, how in the world is he going to negotiate a proper fee for the firm's services?
