FWIW, our chief actuary has been a woman for my entire time at my company. I’ve been here a couple of decades so far.
The question is, is she compensated equally to a male Chief Actuary at a similar type company
Can’t speak to industry at large so much as saying that I’m pretty sure that both were compensated comparably to the male chief actuary before them.
I can’t really speak to the industry as a whole, but the two companies I have worked for had female actuarial leadership for a long time (more than 30 years). Beside female co-workers, I’ve had female trainers/mentors, bosses, grand-bosses and up the chain to chief corporate actuary. Even females who take/have taken reduced hours to devote time to family obligations serve/have served in those roles. So it can happen.
Are they paid the same as males? Only when the corporate actuary was one of the 5 highest compensated corporate officers did I have any insight into her salary. IIRC the options awards and salary seemed commensurate with other officers that weren’t the CEO. I have no insight into what anyone else was paid.
