I graduated from college a few year ago, when the economy was bad, with an actuarial science degree and 3 exams under belt. Couldn't find any actuarial internship or entry-level job. Every time i got calls regarding to my job applications, they asked me if I was a green card holder or a citizen; I wasn't, and they would hung up the phone. However, I was able to get a couple of analytical jobs.
I got my green card a few months back, so I got the visa sponsorship out of the way. Right before that, I started with a new employee; the pay was close to $60k. I was terminated about a month ago (long story). I was determined to apply for actuarial related job only! It has been a month; I have received only a few follow-ups, not any on-site interview yet. One company I am talking to made it clear that the starting salary would be low 50K.
I just received an email from the owner of the consulting firm my friend works at. He asked me if I'm interested in working there. It's a small consulting firm, extremely nice people to work with (I hang out with some employees for a couple times), telecommuting option, two company retreats every year. and the salary will be over 10K more than the EL actuarial job I can find around my location.
Should I still stick to actuarial jobs? Do you think actuarial jobs can be more rewarding in the long term?

Entry-level actuarial job or more money non-actuarial job?
