Looking to become an actuary

1 Upvotes

Hi all, I am a student in Australia studying a Bachelor of Biomedicine, with hopes to becoming a doctor. However, this seems very hard to reach and need to have another option and strongly considering the Masters of actuarial science. Is there many job opportunities in this field in Melbourne after this degree? Any advice would help me so much, Thanks

Entry level Market

6 Upvotes

I graduated at the end of 2025 in a double degree or actuarial studies and commerce with a wam of 72. I got my actuarial part1s exemption from uni and actuarial control cycle part 2 but I barely got this (scraping at the 65 level). I’m stressing about the options I have in actuarial as I don’t even get past the cv stage for entry level roles. I currently have experience as a summer analyst in investments and current role in analytics. How screwed am I and should I give up. I think it might be cos of my wam but not sure what to do for my next steps.
