Any thoughts on leaving Actuarial work? I was thinking of going the other way.. a consistent education/testing seems like it fixes the eternal new wheels and pop experts problem of software as a career.

Actuary is a great cozy career (less exciting in both good and bad ways). I recommend it if you like it. The only downside is limited geographic range.

But for me, software is a calling.

Well the majority of good software jobs are going to be geographically limited as well, unless you have the skillset and experience to break into remote work.

Is there such a thing as developing software for the actuarial industry?

[pjc50]

Yes. It's demanding, well-paid and hard to break into.

I work at a life insurance company in NYC. Feel free to ping me if you're interested

Yes. I had a talk about this in Hacker News a while back, when I was deciding on whether to go into software or become an actuary. You can do both.
