Hi xoail,
Have you got some more information about what you are trying to find out.
The insurance industry is a huge industry in Europe and they tend to have the money to invest in both system enhancements and security. Personally I love working in the finance industry as a BA as there are so many areas to work in. It is not just about crunching numbers but delves into sales, product driven systems, job aids, customer applications, HR systems etc etc. I have noticed that a lot of the insurance companies that I have come across are using legacy systems so there will be plenty of work in the near future as they begin to migrate their systems across. However I am not sure if this is the case for all insurance companies.
What in particular do you want to self-learn?
