@Grey OP- do you find it's more often the writer or the art director?

I've shared that only when I knew that the knowledge would help him negotiate. Generally it's a bad idea that's going to leave one of you feeling bad.

Yeah, helps us negotiate better. Sometimes they try to lowball one partner to save $$$

Generally no, not unless we're looking for a new gig together.

Started 2 years later at the company, so no idea what he’s on - feels like a potential can of worms. Better to leave it I think. I’m happy, he’s happy.

@ac2 depends a bit on the team and the project but usually the writer. A couple teams that I work with now where the AD is stronger.

My dilemma… I am an injury adjuster at a carrier experiencing high inventory that’s barely manageable. A competitor offered a higher salary and manageable workload. BUT, I would like to get into underwriting. I applied for UW position w/ a different carrier and they’ve made an offer. It’s lower than my current salary and significantly lower than what I’d make by taking the first offer. Do I take the high salary and stay in claims or go for UW in hopes it will be best in long run?
