I started in banking.

Was the move easy for you?

Started in tech. I’ve had to get used to great benefits, decent job security, more structure, and clear paths forward. Not as much creative problem solving, but that’s been a fair trade-off for me.

Interesting take that you felt more structure in insurance. I haven’t felt the same when I switched

I started in IT when I got out of college. I actually hated it and had a friend working in insurance who loved it. She recommended I apply and the rest is history.

I had a similar experience with someone recommending it to me!
