Insurance Jobs in Des Moines

It's a pretty hard time for that. I've been working on switching careers from engineering and entering the actuarial field. I've passed the 1/P and 2/FM exams on my own, but I'm trying to avoid moving from CR so I've only been applying to Aegon so far. I have a good track record as a student and engineer, but five applications over the past 15 months has netted me exactly zero follow-up. Granted, four of those five were when I had only one exam.

At some point I may expand my search to include DSM companies but I'm not at that point yet. I'm just going to continue passing exams and applying to Aegon for now.

If anyone is an actuary or HR person at Aegon, message me please! :)

I feel your pain, I recently graduated with 4 exams but unfortunately was not able to get an internship so that really hurts me now while looking for one.

Are you planning on taking MFE or MLC in May?

I don't know why anyone would say stay away from Aviva, I love it there.

I agree. It has been four years now and I love it. Each area can be significantly different but even areas that some consider less desirable still have very competitive wages and are far and away better than similar departments at other companies.

Probably either MFE in May or C in June. I have both sets of study materials. I haven't started studying for either one. I have a full-time job, a wife, and two young children, which makes finding study time a bit harder.

Marsh has a good size operation in Urbandale. Don't know much about them or anyone who works there, but can't hurt to look:
