Hi,
I currently work at an investment bank within Market Risk in London and I'm looking to change careers. I'm considering doing the actuarial exams, and possibly getting a role on the investment/risk side as that would fit well with my work experience.
One of the reason for the change is that career progression/development where I am seems to be very limited at least for me, and I think this is the case in most banking/finance roles which dont require a professional qualification. The work tends to be repetitive and not that challenging while promotions tend to go to those who are more outgoing/shout the loudest, which doesn't really suit my personality.
I believe I get a number of exemptions as I have done the CFA exams. Additionally I have Msc. in Finance and Economics from LSE which may/may not help.
One concern I have is that I'm 33 now so maybe a little to old to start down this path.
I was just seeking any advice on how easy it would be for me to transition and land a job. Also, what kind of pay would I expect and where should I start looking. Any other advice/opinion would be much appreciated
