The Association of Actuaries stipulates that candidates can obtain associate membership by passing six exams, and if they pass the other two exams, they can obtain membership. The Association of Accidental Actuaries requires candidates to pass seven exams to obtain associate membership, and if they pass the other two exams, they can obtain membership. As we all know, it is extremely difficult to pass these exams. The pass rate of the exam is less than 50%, generally around 40%, and it is only held twice a year (P exam, with many participants, is held four times a year). In addition to strict examination requirements, candidates must also have certain academic qualifications (recognized by the association) and work experience. A candidate can only be called an "actuary" if he has obtained associate membership or membership. Actuarial assistant (inexperienced, master) 3500-4500. One year working experience (about 6000).
A lot of work done by consultants is analysis and planning, mainly for problem solving and decision analysis, and professional skills are mainly thinking methods.
The professional skills of consultants must go beyond the thinking limitations of ordinary managers, mainly including five aspects: current situation and situation judgment, causal analysis of problems, decision analysis and formulation, implementation plan and evaluation, and strategic innovation. These five aspects are the basic requirements of management consulting.
A wide range of knowledge is the primary condition for the knowledge structure of consultants. Because consultants are compound talents, they must have more than three theoretical specialties and rich relevant experience.
Consultants must be based on the professional knowledge of MBA, because the talents trained by MBA are general managers, whose contents involve management, economics, finance, statistics, finance and so on. In today's increasingly complex enterprise system, we must be able to take the overall situation and grasp the development from the height of enterprise top management. In addition, you must dabble in some other humanities, such as sociology, psychology, politics, philosophy, literature and history, and even be familiar with one or two natural sciences.
If the consultant's knowledge structure is T-shaped, "extensive knowledge field" is a horizontal line above "T", the wider the better, and its width often determines the depth. MBA professional knowledge is the upright support of "T". Of course, the more specialized, the stronger the better.
Consultants should be paid more than actuaries.
