okay thanks - as someone who attends a selective school everyone and their mum is picking actl which is why i'm iffy (what if it gets oversaturated by the time we graduate and the job market’s flooded? feels risky banking on it even though it sounds like a solid degree right now)
actuarial field is alrdy oversaturated. u get the degree (proof ur smarter than the avg comm student) and go for finance jobs
if your role as a solicitor isn't intellectually demanding, you either work in conveyancing/migration/construction etc. or you're a shit lawyer
can u elaborate on this part. from what ive seen theres a lot of mind numbing bundle-collating/discovery/dd/contractual review at junior lvls. even a lot of correspondence etc is really just management/admin-esque and not exactly intellectual. seems like giving advice/strategy is where that intellectual demand comes in but how much of a job is that really pre-SA lvl. also out of curiosity how does one justify a legal career on the transactional side over eg IB
i've heard - and is it true that you need good connections to make it big? i don't have any family / family friends in law (not that i'm aware of since my family isn't very social unfortunately) so i'm wondering if that puts me in a big disadvantage
making it big anywhere comes down to how much money you bring to the table. u can alrdy have clients via family/connections etc or get them yourself
ooh that's quite interesting. why do you suggest this instead of doing actl?
actl/cs should place similarly into those positions
is there a reason actuary atar requirement much higher than engineering
engineering lacks demand from hs students
