i passed the actuarial exam 1 and i wanted to know if i should write that on my resume. I am a rising sophomore at a non-target school majoring in finance and minoring in mathematics.
Im mainly trying to go into investment banking but am writing the exams though I am not planning on going into actuary.should i write this on resume or does it look bad when bankers see it?
Also, do actuarials go into investment banking, if they could? Does it give them an advantage do u think compared to others?

idunno ya'll. i looked into it and even signed up for the first exam. it's a great lifestyle once you're FSA/FCAS but the exam process is more rigorous than any profession that i know of. do you really want to spend 10 years or more after undergrad studying for exams?
