I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Munich Re in Aug 2025
Interview
Contacted by a headhunter to apply. Total 4 rounds, the 1st (with Talent Acquisition Lead) and 2nd (with hiring manager) round on the same day back-to-back and the 3rd (with a senior actuary on the team) and 4th round (with one senior actuary and one manager from other teams at the same time) on the same day back-to-back. Got the offer in a week after completing all the interviews and accepted the offer.
