What does the day look like?
Your day begins with extracting, reconciling, and cleaning historical policyholder claims and exposure datasets. Using Microsoft Excel (VBA, Power Query) and SQL, you pull figures to run valuation models for IFRS 17 best estimate liabilities and Solvency II capital requirements in actuarial software like Prophet (FIS), Mo.net, AXIS (Moody's Analytics), or ResQ. You also use Python (pandas, numpy), R, or SAS to assist senior actuaries with experience studies on mortality, morbidity, and lapse rates, while updating spreadsheet and code models for quarterly closings.
The glamorous side—pure mathematical theory, advanced probability formulas, and economic forecasting—takes up only 15% of your day. The remaining 85% is spent cleaning data, debugging model runtime errors, manually reconciling spreadsheets, formatting regulatory decks, and studying for professional exams. European office hours run 37 to 40 hours per week, rising to 40 to 45 hours during reporting cycles. There is no shift work, night work, or on-call duty, with only occasional evening overtime during quarter-end and year-end reporting.
