Jas Singh (Managing Director at SKL Actuarial) and Mariella El-Azzi (Pricing Analyst at IAL Insurance) discuss how actuaries can advance their career through identifying key areas to help build fulfilment and satisfaction in roles and what actuaries need to be looking for when changing roles or career paths.
