I'm in my first actuarial role and I'm starting to feel that, one, the role is derivative from traditional actuarial roles and, two, the work is not challenging enough. For example, I have not yet worked on pricing, reserving, or modeling in any capacity, nor do my supervisors (there are other departments in the company that do). We mainly provide "actuarial support" for other non-actuarial departments which translates to creating a ton of reporting. I'm starting to hate making reports and am curious about a more traditional actuarial experience. Is pricing/reserving just as boring after the first two years? I've been contemplating getting out of the field, and at the very least, switching jobs. What has your experience been like?
How challenging do you find your work?
