The majority of people quit the profession. 82% of women leave after 7 years according to Axis capital. There are no senior jobs. The reason I embarked on this course of action was because I nearly finished the exams, in fact I got to the end and passed the fellowship. I would have finished the others off with little complaint, it is the IFoA that have changed the system, moved the goal posts and are making me and a few thousands other students repeat exams we've already passed
The people that struggle are in the majority and the IFoA don't warn you about this when you start so you are well entitled to sue
A lot of people finish the CTs and then couldn't pass the last 6.5 hour exam despite many attempts. This is why the 6.5 hour exam was moved forward so that people could fail at this hurdle rather than right at the end. 1/3 of people aged 35 to 40 are not qualified and are still students, how many must have dropped out before then. What does that tell you?
The IFoA have lied about qualification times. I was certainly not properly informed about what I was getting myself into and people like Tarbuck are not giving you the whole picture now either.
