Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
My role as an intern was a simplified version of the regular actuarial work that my colleagues in the office worked on. I completed basic member calculations for pension schemes initially and then as time moved on these became increasingly complex. I also worked on longer term development projects whether that is with the New Business team, Pensions Technical Unit team, Development team etc. and finally I had chance to draft emails for clients
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given lots of responsibility from day 1, although all work goes through checks and reviews, I was able to work on large pension schemes from my first day and the team placed trust in me to do this. If I took on work and made mistakes, these were clearly explained to me so I could learn from them.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
