2 years in with Management Liability UW with prior financial analyst/accounting experience looking to go to either a new carrier or potentially be a broker. The safe option is just to look for a pay bump at a carrier but for the broker route what should I expect to be similar and different? Also looking for overall advice on what to expect day to day and for managing books of business/meeting goals if it’s similar to UW. I’d say I’m fairly extroverted so that’s why broker interests me too.

Day to day, you’ll get much more face time with clients, still negotiating just from a different side. You are still figuring out the risk and looking over numbers. The broker side is more of a client focus and making money.

UW at a broker may not have much client interaction.

Paralegals: My firm is looking for a paralegal, and I see the job posting advertising the salary as $65-$75k, with benefits. Is this a good salary for a paralegal (Greater LA area)? I’m not the decision maker, but it’s been a few weeks with very few applicants. I’m curious if there’s something hurting the firm in its search.
