As a veteran in the insurance industry, I’ve noticed that expectations keep rising every year, yet the level of support doesn’t always keep up. It feels like companies are asking us to do more with less time and fewer resources. Does anyone else feel like the balance between workload and support has shifted too far?

I'm new to the industry and this is one of the first things I noticed. Since there's no work-life balance (despite my company emphasizing otherwise) and high stress, I've been working on my exit strategy. This is not an industry I want to stay in.

Yes, corporations give profit money to the CEO’s and other people inside. U.S. little guys are asked to profit more them with returns not equal to the increase for the Agency to improve.
For instance, they tell us the answer for to increase our profit is to hire more sellers. However the increase in our goals do not pay for the high cost of employees. This business tactic is backwards.

I am a registered sales assistant which means I have my series 7. I also have the 63 and my Life & Health license. I was a financial advisor but the role is commission only so I decided to take a role as an assistant for some time to learn etc. I really like my role, but I only make 32k a year and after taxes I only take home about 25k. I have a gut feeling that I’m not being paid market value but it’s tough to find comparable salaries. Do you think $15.38/hr is a fair wage in this case?

Hi all - Soliciting feedback on comp for a new role.
Last role was an engineering manager at 185k, 10% bonus, RSUs, paid healthcare.
The first offer was a bit underwhelming. I'm trying to think of creative ways to respond with a counter offer. Offer is 150k base with 10k bonus, no equity or stock, and insurance premiums are a bit expensive. Base and bonus are what I have to work with. Initial thoughts were to give a hard "no" and continue interviewing.
