How did you negotiate entry-level salary?

dimanche 21 décembre 2014

Hello,



In school, I have seen people with a summer internship obtained permanent positions after graduation. However I got a 4-month experience in P&C after graduation. My current company does not have openings for entry level P&C positions now, so I am seeking entry-level actuarial positions (prefer P&C) everywhere in the U.S.



In addition, some companies' websites and third-party recruiters asked for my expected entry-level salary. I think the salary is mainly based on number of exams passed and actuarial experience accumulated. I passed three actuarial exams and had some experience in SAS and R while I was doing projects in undergraduate and graduate schools. Nevertheless, my major responsibility was to maintain spreadsheets (vlookup, hlookup, index/match, a bit of pivot tables, recording macros, graphs, charts, if statements, etc). Sometimes I also used some actuarial modeling software with actuaries' instructions.



Back to the topic, I have seen salary range for entry-level actuarial students with a few months of experience on DW Simpson and Ezra Penland as well as specific companies' average salaries on glassdoor.



How much did you negotiate entry-level salary when you applied for your first permanent actuarial job?



Is $57,000 - $67,000 reasonable for 4-month of experience plus 3 exams?
