10 years in and going in house for a carrier. If I could do it all over again I would have chosen differently starting out in order to set myself up for an in house counsel position. That said, it really depends where you see your career going.

I’m 14 years in now, didn’t want to do ID but needed a job. Happy I don’t know about but I guess I’m satisfied. If you can get insurer clients to send you hundreds of cases it can be very lucrative. There’s always the chance to go in house with an insurer or large company if not. You get a lot of experience and the opportunity to actually go to trial, so that’s something. If you’ve got other options, I’d very, very strongly encourage you to explore them. Feel free to DM me if you’d like to chat, good luck!

11 years in and I am happy. I could make more money in another field, but I have good work-life balance and a lot of control over my schedule. I work at a good firm with decent people, which is also a key part of it.

Is life insurance a priority to anyone at the moment, and if so why is life insurance important to you?

It can be impossible to deal with financial losses due to declining health or unforeseen circumstances by not having life insurance. In these cases, the solution to your debts (that can affect the financial stability of you or your loved ones) may fall within the category of life insurance.

I work in insurance. I was working for an Allstate agent and was fired the day after my grandmothers funeral for being “unenthusiastic in our morning meeting”. Now I’m having anxiety searching for a job. I don’t think I want to sell anymore yet every single recruiter I interview with says I should, that I have a “salesperson mentality”. I’m burnt out. Has anyone else felt this way? How did handle it? Is there a different career path I can take or am I destined to sell insurance forever?
