Not sure if this goes here, but I don't think /adv/ has an answer, I want a career advice.

>I'm almost (under)graduating as an actuary, and I have the option of getting my certification diploma through international exams (SOA/CAS).
>I'm also going for a DSc in math, or even maybe study a bachelor in forensics science, but that's in the late future.
>I'm determined to start my career in something involved with finances
>I also have focused learning mixing computer sciences, operational research,and financial topics.

Where do you think I should start my career?
>I'm in Mexico and I can move to another country, so where's the best market for an actuary (e.g. which country or which job: consulting/strategic planning, risk assesor, private investor, broker, portfolio manager, etc.)

Well do you want to be a fucking actuary or not? You're all over the place with that shit. There's little point in taking the exams if you are trying to fill a different finance role.

I think I have a pretty decent knowledge in those areas, since are basic skills in my program. I want to know what's the best option as an actuary
>or is it indifferent?

Lol I'm not trying to fill a different finantial role, I'm trying to fit the best in the finantial role as an actuary.

Then look for jobs with insurance companies and actuarial consulting firms. It might help to pick a specialty or at least be knowledgeable about several if you want to leave yourself open so you can discuss them during interviews.

If you want to do something a bit different, look into ERM or modeling in an actuarial role.

More exams are generally a good thing but don't get credentialed before starting to work because that looks bad.

Most big American cities will have positions, also some of the big insurance companies in less populous areas (Midwest). That may not sound appealing but the COL is rul low.
