Actuarial Exams (or) CIMA - RanaHassanShahid - 10-18-2011
Hello Everyone...
I need some guidence related to my career...
First a bit about my educational background.
Done B.Com and after that passed m.Sc in actuarial aciences.
I love both the fields i.e., actuarial and accounting but analysis is what im best at.
Here came the confusion
I have 5 exemption in CIMA i.e., certificate level is exempted. Whereas due to my m.Sc in actuarial sciences i have strong grip on actuarial subjcets like FM, Contingencies, Statistical Methods + I love math.
But the thing is CIMA required around 2.5 years minimum to achieve ACMA title... and to achieve ASA it required around minimum 5 years...
Cima i have to give 10 papers (including T4 paper)
Actuary i have to give 14 papers till fellowship.
Time is what mattered to me... and I am not able to decide what to persue... (
Please guide me on that...
Regards,

Rana,
Appreciate that the actuarial qualification will take longer to complete but wouldn't you be working all this period? My suggestion would be to find a job in the accounting and/or actuarial field and then go from there.
