Tips for Your Actuary Job Search
Lead your resume with exam progress
Actuarial hiring decisions hinge on how many SOA or CAS exams you've passed. List each passed exam by number and date, note any in progress, and put this section above work experience so recruiters don't have to hunt for it.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists actuary openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Tailor your software skills to the posting
Employers split sharply between shops that rely on R and Python and those still built around Excel and SAS. Read each job description carefully and mirror its exact tool language in your resume rather than listing every software you've touched.
Quantify your modeling impact concretely
Generic phrases like 'built reserve models' won't differentiate you. State the business outcome: the line of business affected, the scale of the reserves, or the accuracy improvement your model delivered over its predecessor.
Prepare a technical case for the interview
Many actuarial interviews include a take-home or live modeling exercise. Practice walking through your assumptions out loud, because interviewers care as much about your reasoning process as the final answer you produce.
Negotiate using total fellowship support
Base salary is only part of your offer. Actuarial employers often cover exam fees, study materials, and paid study time. Ask what fellowship support looks like before accepting, since these benefits vary widely and compound significantly over your exam years.
Actuary Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most actuarys?
The companies hiring the most actuarys right now include Pryor Associates, Deloitte, and National Life, with the largest share of openings in Texas, Illinois, and New Jersey, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Demand tends to concentrate at large insurers, national consulting firms, and government health programs.
How many actuary jobs are remote?
About 85% of actuary openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting a field that shifted significantly toward distributed work. Pricing and predictive analytics roles tend to offer the most location flexibility, while roles that require regular collaboration with underwriting or claims teams are more likely to require in-office presence.
How do you become a actuary?
You start by earning a bachelor's degree in actuarial science, mathematics, or statistics, then begin sitting for SOA or CAS professional exams while still in school. Most candidates land an entry-level analyst role after passing two or three exams and build toward fellowship designation over several years of working and continuing to pass exams. Employers typically support exam costs and study time as part of a structured fellowship program.
How do you get hired as a actuary with little or no experience?
Focus on passing at least two actuarial exams before applying, since exam progress is the primary signal employers use to evaluate candidates who lack work history. Internships at insurance carriers or consulting firms carry significant weight and often convert to full-time offers. Highlight any quantitative coursework, modeling projects, or data analysis work in your resume to demonstrate technical readiness for the role.
What does the actuary interview process look like?
Most actuarial interviews begin with a recruiter screen focused on exam progress and role fit, followed by a technical round that tests your modeling approach and quantitative reasoning. A take-home case study or live Excel exercise is common at mid-size insurers and consulting firms. Final rounds typically include a panel with the hiring manager and a senior actuary who will probe your assumptions and how you communicate results.
Where can I find and apply to actuary jobs?
You can find and apply to actuary jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from employers across the United States. Search for roles that match your exam level, specialization, and preferred location, then apply directly to each listing that fits.
