Steve is an Actuary & Corporate Consultant at First Actuarial, based in Manchester.

Steve shares his journey into the actuarial profession, discussing his experiences, challenges, and insights gained over 20 years in the industry. We explore how his role has evolved over time, including becoming a Scheme Actuary before specialising in corporate advice, with a particular emphasis on finding enjoyment & fulfilment in each role rather than focusing on job titles.

Steve also offers advice to graduates and young professionals, including his thoughts on what to look for during the interview process, embracing every opportunity which comes your way, and sharing his views of the future of the profession.

I hope you enjoy the conversation!
