Actuarial Grad Schemes 2017

Scroll to see replies

How long ago was that? Damn I hope I haven't left it too late.

I contacted them on the day I got the phone interview invitation. It was a few weeks ago since I applied early. It should be fine for you if it has only been a few days since your invitation.

Still wondering about the EY interview, they have confirmed that I have it but they haven't told me when... I think I may call them tomorrow and find out.

Has anyone looked at any of the big reinsurers - like Munich RE for example? I am trying to understand how their application process works as on the website it provides info for last years recruitment process.

Paraphilos - did you get any information about when your EY interview was going to take place? And no, for me it's an interview for actuarial - just out of curiosity what was/is your degree in?

My undergrad was in maths and my masters is also in maths. However I did do an internship at a technology company so maybe they assigned me that and didn't think I was good enough for actuarial stream? I think I will just try anyway.

By the way on Munich RE I am also curious! Am I right in saying they only have the Munich position open at present? I think I emailed them a while back to ask but can't remember if I'm honest.

I'm going to try and contact them and find out about the positions - from what I gather about last year is that the graduate schemes meant you had to go and do a cycle around some of their main offices globally but end up in the office of your choice. I don't know if you can pick an actuarial role specifically but I'll let you know when I find out. Have you looked at any of the other big reinsurers/insurers?

And I don't think so, I only have a degree in Maths. Could be that they just have loads of applicants in actuarial and are lacking in technology - could give you a better opportunity... who knows.

Ahh well done.

I was unable to finish all the VR ones, but for the numeracy ones I was 3 more questions to go when the window came up :-(

Hoping I am able to get through :-(

Spent my whole weekend, revising these tests tbh!

On their website, they claim to only begin reviewing applications in January. Is this information incorrect?

Do you have a source for the LCP claim? The application form for 2017 looks to be open still. https://www.lcp.uk.com/careers/graduate-opportunities/how-to-apply/

I sent my application to LCP like in September or something and I seem to have missed everything. What a shame.

I went to their one and only AC for Insurance consulting and was told there. They probably still have it open incase people drop out etc.
This is ONLY for Insurance consulting.. still recruiting for Investment/pensions I assume.
