AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the evolving role of actuaries in data science, with a focus on whether traditional actuarial exams will still be necessary for this new position. Participants express skepticism about the term "data science actuary," suggesting it may be more of a marketing strategy than a substantial change in the profession. There is mention of universities, particularly Bond in Australia and several institutions in the US, adapting their programs to align with this trend, indicating a growing recognition of the intersection between actuarial science and data science.

New name for an old job.
 
I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...
I have a specialization in condensed matter physics and materials physics, and off-late, I have been seeing a lot of research directions moving towards quantum computing (AMO and non-linear optics) and the huge chunk of quantum materials research (and funding) is dedicated towards QIS and QC research. I am wondering (sort of in a dilemma), if I should consider switching my field? I am currently at the stage of a postdoc.
