I for one will be training the next batch of brokers to know what they're asking for and to show professional courtesy to underwriters. Having been an UW myself for over a decade I know what these qualitiesare worth. Some of us have your back. ;)

I get that sentiment. I worry a whole generation is retiring with the same sentiment though: I got mine and I don't care what happens.

I don't think anyone is being mean about it. It's just that in the last decade, we've lost all loyalty and meaning in work. The desire to see the company continue has gone away

I'm pretty sure AI is going to make all of this a moot point. Most of us are going to lose our jobs in the year or so, so people retiring won't make a difference.

In the next 5 years, we will see a massive change in how claims are being processed. First of all, AI has had a major impact on certain markets or cities as it's still in the Beta phase. Second , with Verisk and their subsidiaries means more adjusters will be handling work from a desk than in the field. Xactimate has already proven during the C-vid days that a Face-to-Face call can take care of most basic claims. Next, with Corelogic, Eagleview, Lidar and Drones, roofing claims will be easier to either pay or deny from the office. Plus the use of Matterport scanning done by mitigation companies which can be downloaded into Xactimate or Symbility will almost eliminate field adjusters. These technologies will eliminate thousands of jobs and/or departments across many companies. Besides if the insurance company you are working for isn't using these aforementioned technologies, then your company is either going to get bought out or fold.

Can’t wait!

Why retire??? Work out of a home office.. there is always a need for their products...just work part time to boost your income...unless your rich and don't need the money?

That sounds good, but only if I can have a lot more vacation and flexibility. I’d definitely think about working longer if I could have a 4 day work week and an extra two or three weeks of vacation.

TBH, I think carriers are being quite short-sighted with hybrid requirements-my company recently added an extra day in the office—and not being more flexible, especially for “semi-retirees” if we want to call them that. older people in their 60’s often still have family obligations to older parents.

We’ve had a pretty big drain at my company in the last couple years—it’s very obvious.

Agreed between this and AI, will be interesting. just a few more years to go until retirement at least for me.

This is my first job in a large corporate company, and I’m trying to gauge how long it normally takes to move from entry level to another internal position in the insurance industry. I have been applying internally for a year now and I am wondering if this is normal or if my company is just slow? I am a top performer, with great metrics, and I have some wonderful connections I’ve made who support me. I just can’t seem to move up. How long did it take you to move up? How many tries did it take?

So I had been working as medical interpreter up to the early part of this year. Today, during an interview, the Director with whom I was interviewing genuinely urged me to consider pursuing a career as a PA or even attempt to go to medical school. I had considered it in passing before but today was about the third or fourth time that someone had earnestly nudged me in that direction. Has anyone here made such a career pivot before? I love working in healthcare, there’s nothing like it.
