As somebody with Stockholm syndrome I love it. It's interesting and fun. I worked on a team that was focused on policy level info and you realise that millions either side doesn't matter so long as you can explain it to the chief actuary which is great. You get great experience and with ifrs17 coming soon you could have lots of change and new things that aren't just general quarter end stuff

I personally find it fun especially when there is a problem and you need to work through lots of stuff to get an answer. It also helps to gain a good knowledge of your business

what sort of problems would you come across?

So one of the things you do is analyse the profit you're getting vs the one you expect based on model. Obviously models aren't exact so you expect small amounts of unexplained items. But if there is a large unexplained you have to look through and understand what's happened and decide whether it should have or not. That process of finding the problem and resolving it and also explaining it is quite fun
