Loved this video Bongi👌🏾
I’m quite excited for your growth journey and love that you’re so intentional about it. God is definitely blessing/cultivating the seeds you are sowing🫶🏾

Thank you, Tlotlo🙌♥️ I’m really excited for this season and thank you for being a part of it! Above all, we thank God🙌

Hey! Thank you for your video.
I studied & finished Actuarial Science and I worked in Asset Management for 3.5 years. My 1st Graduate Program was at an Investment Management Company in Cape Town - I received a permanent offer after 1 year and I stayed on for 18 more months. I moved to Jozi and worked for a Hedge Fund for 8 months .
Now I work at an Insurer for one of the Banks in Jozi and I can safely tell you that the degree allows you entry into all of these fields comfortably.
AcSci is in high demand across the board in Finance & it makes you competitive when applying.
I hope you find your way back to Asset Management 🙃

[@bra_bongz]

Hey! Thank you so much for sharing your journey. It’s providing a picture of how wide the actuarial career can carry one throughout the financial services industry!
I might cross paths with the asset management industry in the future or even complete the rest of the ActSci exams😂 We never know what the future holds 😉

[@sodone5015]

hey, so i am doing actuarial currently and want to get into portfolio/asset management , can you tell me or make a video on your experience at asaba and what were you to exposed to (like the actual job/work of actuaries you came accross) i'd really appreciate it as it will help me know whether i should really continue actuary or not. I also looking at CFA courses for the same.

[@bra_bongz]

Hey - for sure. I’ll unpack both career fields in videos. The net is quite wide with both career fields. There is already some existing content which we put together with the securethegrad team on the asset management field available here youtube.com/@securethegrad?si=uHhI_8DLgkNzrNrt

What about the job opportunities of econometrics?

[@bra_bongz]

Hi there - there are a number of job opportunities available for econometrics including, data analyst, economist, market research analyst, financial analyst, risk analyst, etc. I think what’s most important if finding what your interests are and then matching them with job.

[@NonkululekoNkosi-p8w]

Which courses did you change to ?

[@bra_bongz]

@@NonkululekoNkosi-p8w I ended up changing to a BSc in Econometrics (Economics and Mathematical Statistics) and pursued an honours degree in Mathematical Statistics
