Heyy l need help with actuarial valuations

Thank you for this video ! It was so easy to understand. And very informative.

Day to day? Not much math.

I am two and a half minutes in and you still haven't started talking about anything that no one talks about.

You're absolutely doing something wonderful for the world and you should be proud of it! Don't sell yourself short!

Just passed my second exam earlier today, and your channel is the reason why i decided to take a leap and start working on the actuarial path. I was never the most consistent viewer, but thank you for all your videos! Finding your channel gave me the motivation to get started when I was hesitating.

If you put some lipstick on you would look so much like the actress Isla Fisher

I'm so happy for you. Congrats and thanks for being so vulnerable. You're so funny.

Number of exams you've passed. Okay.

Wow. She encourages me a lot. Am an Acturial science student in Kenya. Acturial science 😅

I Michelle! As a healthcare student who is considering a career in actuary, I heard so many healthcare professionals such as physicians and dentists complain that insurance is "evil." Can you please explain this myth in your next video if you have a chance? I truly appreciate it! Thank you!

Hi Michelle, thanks for your videos. Is machine learning / AI used in reserving nowadays? Could this (partially) replace/enhance traditional reserving methods? Do you see other fields in actuarial work where machine learning / AI plays an important role (in the future)?

Can you give me an estimated annual income for actuary?

Blessings on your marriage. :)

Check out Cal Newport! He's written several books about the kind of burnout resulting from the kinds of work situations you describe!

Oh my! an aspiring Actuary here, so excited I have found your channel!. What determines the ultimate value? is it when the claims are closed?. Is it possible to use insurance data e.g from Kaggle (which close to the real life projects) to show the Actuarial techniques?, It would be immensely helpful to those joining the profession.

can you share what degree you had to pursue to be an actuary

I have a question! I think I heard you say in a different video that you believe insurance is fundamentally good (correct me if I'm wrong), but I would love to know why! People typically have a negative connotation of insurance, so I would appreciate your perspective!

Heyyyy, future actuary here (hopefully) , Comment section, do you have any advice on goe to write a personal statement for actuarial science or mathematics or books that i should read to put on my personal statement.

End of April? Not March? 1:18

Wow you have so many responsibilities 😍😍

I have never related SOOOO much with a video 😭😭😭❤️❤️ Speaking as a qualified actuary living and working in the UK i am also struggling with a lack of passion and purpose. I don’t hate actuarial but sometimes I wish i hadn’t qualified soo early because i now feel lost and like I’m in a second quarter life crisis. But I know it will be ok, We will find ourselves again 🧡

Love ur channel. I’m a failed actuary btw :(

hi Michelle, just wanted to comment that these types of videos are super interesting and your explanations are clear and engaging. As an aspiring actuary, I find them valuable since they give me a lot of context :) And Congratulations on the engagement!!!

How is actuary profession going to be influenced by LLM/AI ?

Please keep posting!! I recently discovered your channel and I’ve been loving it!

Three videos in a week? Will there be a 4th soon or will you disappear for the next 6 months?

You are a lovely actuary! Congrats on your engagement!

Randomly stumbled upon this, loved watching your video!

How I met your father vibes

Congrats on your engagement.

not the teeth licker 😭i am living for this

THE AMOUNT OF TIMES I'VE LOOKED GUYS UP ON LINKEDIN

I'd date you

tldr; actuarys be crazy

long time no see but def agree on the LinkedIn part

You look like you are a handful, but worth the effort.

Nope, not considering a job; I'm just curious about the world.

Short question. You said as a reserving actuary you are not impacting the profit of the company. If I understand the alm of an insurance company correctly, the investments in earning assets depend on the amount of reserves. So in that way, the profits are impacted. But I am not in insurance industry (yet), would be nice if you explain the link between reserves and investments. Thank you

Last year I ended up watching your channel last minute to prep for my 'Insurance' exam, but I actually keep enjoying your content. Keep it up, Elle! Wish you all the best from Belgium

How do you think reserving and pricing techniques can be migrated to other forms of business e.g a restaurant or a trailor making business? Essentially how can Actuaries sell themselves apart from relying regulatory requirements to enforce our existence?

Thanks for your content! Does everyone have to do an internship? I am an adult learner changing my career and I'm not sure if I can go back to an internship (I'm thinking unpaid).

Where is the QnA 😢

That's a nice engagement ring you've got there

As a representative of your male audience, which is 75% of the whole audience, I want to thank you for cool entertaining video.

Hi Elle, as an aspiring actuary, I love your videos! I just watched one of your first ones where you mention you passed all your exams in a little over five years. I'm 20 and I just passed FM in February. I think it would be really awesome to be a fellow by the time i'm 25-26. Was just wondering how hard that was? Did you have hardly any free time or were you still able to go out and do things? Thanks!

Stopped at "privilege"

How much human interaction do you have to do as an actuary? I like working alone and cannot deal with toxic people, so what are interactions like?
