Need Advice: Actuarial Field in the UK

[FatSheep]

I am holding a US actuarial credential (Society of Actuaries) and would like to look for actuarial related work in the UK. Would there be any hurdle because I do not own a UK actuarial credential?

Any advice? Thanks very much in advance.

These would probably be the people to ask www.actuaries.org.uk/

Or ring a UK based recruitment consultant?

(DH is an actuary, not me).

IME overseas qualifications aren’t too much of a problem as long as you’ve got the appropriate experience for the job. I’ve worked with people with a whole bunch of different qualifications. Having the right to work in the UK is much more of a hurdle.

But I agree with the PP, a recruiter should be happy to advise you.

More specifically: www.actuaries.org.uk/membership/mutual-recognition

There is not currently a mutual recognition of SoA qualification in the UK, but that should not prevent you doing actuarial work. I have UK colleagues who have worked in the US for secondments etc so I’m sure it can work the other way!

Thanks so much for the replies, very helpful. That give me confidence in the future job search.

About UK recruiter specialize in actuarial jobs, any recommendation?
