Do you stay at a good firm with a good reputation where you are siloed in a back office role with no growth or go to a lesser known firm with less track record and opportunity to learn and grow? I’m in an extremely operational role and want to leave but the benefits down the line could be grand. How do you evaluate a decision like this?

I think you know the answer to this one...the type of work you do is always more important than the brand. You do good, and the brand name opps will come to you in time.

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?

Thinking of moving to LA in a few months to pursue my dream career to be a talent agent or to work in the business side of music. I have no connections and no previous experience in these fields. For context I’m in my 30s, single w/no kids, and have a good amount of money saved up for the move. I’m currently feeling unfulfilled with my current job, and would regret it if I didn’t try this out. Has anyone else found success in this city later on in life? If so, any tips are super appreciated. TY

Hi all

I recently accepted a role in a start-up and received the contract today.

The offer letter mentioned 'enhanced' parental pay but the contract mentions 'statutory'

I'm not planning on using this benefit anytime soon but that if I need to I won't be messed about.

Any of you UK based would be able to let me know the amount of details they have in this section of their contract? Not sure what the norm is? (I was contractor before so not so relevant info). Thanks in advance!

Thank you!
