I moved into commercial with around 3 years of experience and no CPCU, so it’s definitely possible. The designation helped later, once I was already in the role, especially when competing against people with similar experience.
I was the youngest at my company to get it. To my face everyone talked about how it was amazing and would open so many doors for me. In reality, it did absolutely nothing for my career except some networking opportunities. The people I interviewed for later either didn’t care about it, didn’t even know what it was, or were bitter that I had passed when the didn’t.
In retrospect, it was 3 years of stress for absolutely nothing worthwhile.
