Can someone give some input on the difference between an Underwriter and an Underwriting Analyst? I'm finding a lot of companies use this title synonymously.

I’m curious here as well - my original thoughts were an underwriting analyst would be on the higher level. However most I have seen have salary ranges much lower than an underwriting role.

I’ve seen people who are underwriters go on to become underwriting analysts. They tend to be involved in projects, QC underwriters’ work, confirm controls are working as intended, etc.

I’ve been struggling with job titles as well because I feel there is a lot of inconsistency in the market. For example, at NYL in UW role an “Analyst” is the lowest least experienced and “Senior Advisor” is highest most experienced (before moving to management track).
Would be nice to see a role progression from each major carrier!

For us, UW Analyst is more of administrative work then UW, UW II, Sr, Consultant, Sr. Consultant.

Anyone have any idea when the hiring freeze might end within AWS ProServ? I’m currently at Amazon and have a TS clearance, PMP & CSM. I come from a Big4 consulting firm with a background in Enterprise Performance. I’ll be honest and say I’m not feeling very safe in my current role with the ongoing layoffs. Instead of leaving, I’d love to go back to my “consulting roots” and join the ProServ team. I’m taking my AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner exam next weekend. Hoping this freeze is lifted soon.
