In fairness, I'm pretty sure the actuarial exams are actually genuinely really difficult, "your life is now devoted to studying until exams are over if you want a career as an actuary" affairs.

But it seems like slo mo isn't putting anything close to that level of effort into preparing for them, hence his failing and everybody else's total lack of surprise about it.

All jokes aside, I'm curious as to what happened during his sitdown, and why he suddenly is determined to budget. Did they threaten his job? Tell him no more bonuses? He's always been pretty dismissive of potential job loss, saying that he'd just find another job within a couple of weeks. So why the panic now?

There was no sitdown.

He had a SITTING which is code for "sat my rear end in a chair and failed my exam" but it doesn't mean that he got back from Nicaragua and his boss sat him down and told him he is on thin ice.

That's not really true. I'm an FSA and a consultant. Like all things, it's a competitive market. If you want to live in a good place (NYC, Boston, whatever) you need to be outstanding. Getting fired from a consulting job would be a pretty big blow because consulting gigs won't fire you for exam performance if you're a great consultant.

If he had an ASA he could probably find a job quickly but it would be in Iowa or something.

No, I don't believe he's going to budget, but I do think he's worried. Otherwise, he'd be in here bragging about all the balling he did in Nicaragua, complete with nut-punchingly douchetastic photos. It sounds like he got some kind of warning that he's taking seriously. I could be wrong.

Wait, I misread seatown as sitdown, so it's also possible that he's still like "eh, no worries on the job front" but blew his budget to poo poo (more than usual) on vacation.
