Actuarial Analyst Role – QBE or Allianz (Australia)?

[u/onhinkiuziu]

Question for those who’ve worked in Australian insurance actuarial teams:

If you received equivalent Actuarial Analyst offers from both QBE and Allianz:
1. Which would you choose and why?
2. If you had to summarise the main Pros & Cons of Allianz and QBE, what would they be?

A bit about what I'm looking for:
- Strong work-life balance and sustainable working hours
- Potential opportunities to relocate from Sydney to Melbourne in the future
- Supportive team culture and management

Would love to hear any experiences, whether positive or negative. Thanks heaps!! 🫶🏼

Anecdotally, QBE for more pay, Allianz for better hours. But you can't make generalisations about a whole company, every team is different even within a company.

Allianz has much better international opportunities if you value that.

Allianz has a great employer stock match scheme. For every 3$ you invest they match a 1$. I work at Allianz. Feel free to DM for more info.

Can I DM you to ask about your resume. I’ve been applying to both QBE and Allianz but all got rejected (i’m a fresh grad FYI)
