Had a phone screen yesterday for an underwriting role, and the recruiter asked me about financial responsibility, which caught me off guard. Are they basically asking about my credit score? Is this standard in insurance hiring now, or should I be concerned?

Are you sure they weren’t asking about fiduciary responsibility? You need to post the specific question you were asked if you want someone to explain it.

It’s pretty common now. The industry’s big on financial integrity, and the question is just part of the screening process. It doesn’t mean they’re digging deep yet. If you’re moving along in the process, you’ll likely sign consent forms for any credit check later on.

Also the product I’m on has been in MVP stage, things move extremely fast and design decisions changed constantly. He’s not on my team.
Am I crazy for thinking him a bad manager?
