I'm curious what the average salary is for an Associate Agent. I'm licensed & do everything after the sale is made as well as refer new business. I have 14 years in the industry but have been at the current company less than a year, so I know that plays a part as well. Anyone in a like-position by chance?State Farm Allstate Travelers

Hi ,I have been interviewed and selected in S&P Global .salary almost negotiated and waiting for the offer letter to release. But seems like they are not willing to release the offer because of my 90 np . They are asking to join by 60 days but initially I told them my NP is 90. Even I am ready to take the 60 days offer but now they are not releasing offer as they want assurance.Now they are not picking calls.seems like i will loose the offer. Is there anything can be done.

Yes, but it may be grass is greener effect
As someone who has worked in tech the past 25 years in a number of finance-related positions, your claim of "better" hours confuses me. I have never seen a finance person have 24-7 on-call responsibilities or the expectation of working middle of the night maintenance / deployments regularly.
I love working in tech, but the hours are certainly rarely something I would call "better", especially compared to "banker's hours" (we joke about those at my current job).
Try to avoid oversimplifying an entire industry to one experience or a few experiences. There are people in finance who get paid millions a year (like hedge fund managers ) and people in tech who get paid a modest salary. And vice versa, there are roles who get paid minimum wage in both industries. Companies in the same industry can pay differently, and even different teams and departments at the same firm get paid differently.
IT. HoWEVER I say go to trade school. We have had it driled into us, we have to go to college to make a living and have a family. Well their are fewer mechanics, repairmen and plumbers. You are lucky if you can find one that can come over when your not at work, unless you work hybrid. Ths is coming from someone who has their master's in accounting. My brother makes great money in IT, but he couldn't fix a drip coming from a sink and would pay $200 for someone else to fix it.
Unless you're the owner, then a trade isn't worth it
All depends. Lets say for example, tech at a Financial Firm vs the Medical Field, those are two very different environments, where ultimately Finance pays more and had more room for growth. All depends on what you value in a role.
Both tech and finance industries pay well at the largest companies. The issue is more about job function. Some jobs make you work a lot and some don't.
