Had my first interview with the hiring manager for a middle market role at Zurich insurance group. She said I’d have about 10 agents assigned to me which makes me nervous from the 40 I have now. Does anyone have any insight on if it’s difficult to reach their NB goal? Manager said 8 visits a month, can I do more? Interview went over so I couldn’t ask Zurich Insurance Company Ltd all my questions.

After every interview, I’ve ever had it they’ve always said if I had any additional questions after the interview to shoot them an email. I would recommend doing that if you have questions about it. I think it shows initiative to send an email afterwards as well. Or if you’re working with a recruiter, send it to the recruiter.

I already emailed the hiring manager to thank her for her time. Will be be annoying or unprofessional to re-email her with my questions? She did tell me the same thing that I could reach out with additional questions. I just get nervous

I think as long as you project yourself as being confident in handling the role, then there is nothing unprofessional about it. Liken it to preparing yourself for agent rebuttals when calling for a declination, or preparing for an agency visit with an agent that just had a claim denial, you like to think through and be prepared for even the slightest difficulties. And since you’ve become accustomed handling 40 agencies, you want to understand what shifts the HM thinks you would need to make to be successful in having 10 agencies. That’s what I would like to hear from a candidate.

Middle market definitely has stretch goals. A team of is pretty common here. If the right steps are taken to get close to the goal, I wouldn’t be too concerned.

Hello Fishes,

I need some advice regarding this situation and what to do. So I work for a company that offers outsourcing services to major investment banks around the world. I have been working for a new client for about six months now and they seem to like my work so far. Recently I saw that they're hiring to get people on their team at my level. My question is, should I talk to my client and try to pursue them to consider me for the role they're hiring for?

Accepting an offer in IBD, lateraling over from consulting. Opportunity of a lifetime for me so don’t want to lose it.
But timing is horrible. I joined the Army Reserves before this opportunity was on my radar. Interviewed over several months, got the offer, but shipping out in 1 month for training for 6 months.
Do I irreversibly shoot my career by joining and immediately going on LoA? I obviously haven’t mentioned it in the interview process. Or will this be forgotten a couple years in?
