Actuarial Consultant Jobs in New York: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a actuarial consultant in New York?
The concrete path begins with a bachelor's degree in actuarial science, mathematics, or statistics, followed by passing preliminary exams administered by the Society of Actuaries or the Casualty Actuarial Society. New York does not issue a separate state actuarial license, but employers here expect candidates to be actively progressing toward Associateship or Fellowship. Firms in New York City typically require at least two passed exams before entry-level hiring and support exam study time as part of the role.
How much do actuarial consultants make in New York?
Actuarial consultants in New York earn a median of about $156,480 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $82,250 for the lowest 10% to over $277,800 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire actuarial consultants in New York?
Employers hiring actuarial consultants in New York right now include Continental Casualty, AmTrust Financial, and Aon, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. New York's concentration of global insurers, reinsurers, and large consulting firms makes it one of the deepest markets in the country for actuarial consulting work across health, life, and property and casualty lines.
Which New York cities have the most actuarial consultant jobs?
The cities with the most actuarial consultant openings in New York are New York. New York City dominates by volume because it is home to the headquarters or major offices of the country's largest insurers, reinsurers, and benefits consulting firms, while White Plains and other Westchester locations draw demand from regional carriers and firms that operate satellite offices outside Manhattan.
Are there remote actuarial consultant jobs in New York?
Yes, and more than most fields, since actuarial consulting is fundamentally analytical and desk-based work that translates well to remote settings. About 67% of actuarial consultant openings tied to New York are remote or hybrid as of June 2026, reflecting broad adoption across the insurance and consulting sectors. Pricing, reserving, and predictive modeling work tends to be the most remote-friendly, while client-facing project management roles typically require some in-office or on-site presence.
How can I get hired as a actuarial consultant in New York with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is through an actuarial analyst or actuarial associate role at a New York-based insurer or consulting firm, where having one or two passed Society of Actuaries or Casualty Actuarial Society exams is the primary differentiator. Large New York employers such as MetLife, New York Life, and Milliman run structured analyst programs that recruit recent graduates directly. Adjacent roles in data analytics or underwriting at insurance firms also provide a credible bridge into consulting, particularly when combined with active exam progress.
