Our survey says . . . seeing is believing.


Everyone wonders how their compensation stacks up to others in their industry. Actuaries never have to wonder. They have the benefit of actual salary survey information collected from their peers, and the amazing survey query tools we provide. We don’t just publish reports, we allow actuaries to query the data we’ve gathered. It easy to see what’s going on with the salaries in each specialty area. It allows them to compare, and begin to target their future dream jobs.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
                                        Our data is collected from actuaries who respond to our confidential salary survey, as well as the data we gather on a regular basis from the actuaries we interview and place. We also include salary information from the companies we recruit for. 

The highly interactive charts allow exploration of actuarial salary ranges in relationship to: industry/specialization, geographic location, professional designation, number of exams completed and years of experience.  We hope you will take a look and explore the information and possibilities!

A little cell phone etiquette



It’s not unusual for companies to have cell phone polices that dictate how you can use your personal cell phone during office hours. Whether or not you are allowed to use your phone at work, it’s always a good idea to practice good cell phone etiquette. Here are a few reminders:  


·       Be considerate of those around you if you are at work, set the notification on vibrate.

·       In the company of others, it’s considerate to only use your phone for important calls. Casual chatter can wait. If you aren’t sure, let the call go to voice mail. If you do answer an unimportant call, it’s okay to tell the person it’s not a good time for you to talk. Get off the call quickly.

·       If you have to take a call that you believe to be important, apologize for the interruption and indicate that you believe the call can’t wait.

·       If you are at work, find a private place to make your call. It’s just considerate find someplace to talk where your conversation can’t be overheard, even if what you are discussing isn’t personal.
