Alas, even people at Google and Facebook etc, who can (probably?) hold their own against actuaries in terms of salary don't get offices.
Of course, most companies need only a few actuaries, so giving them a handful of offices is easy. If you have a company that's mostly engineers, that's gonna look different to the beancounters.
Actuary is respected profession. There is lots of responsibility and they have higher median salary than programmers.
Programmers are dime a dozen. Only top level architects have status. If programmer is highly valued, he usually has some other title than programmer/developer.
