Has anyone in Florida found it a challenge to land an insurance defense or personal injury job with more than 2-5 years experience? Is it because of tort reform?

I'm in south Florida and I'm getting tons of recruiters reaching out for insurance defense jobs. I've been busier because of the tort reform.

Yes......its actually wild.....last year i had tons of recruiters and employers msging me or asking for an interview.

100% because of tort reform. There arent as many cases going around this year so people like the person who responded that said hes busier than ever, wont be in a year or two unless they are at a m&m or other big volume place.

Recruiters are msging for job openings, but if u have more than 5 years u r prob asking for total comp over 160k+ and once you say that nobody wants you.

I been on three interviews in 6 months and they all either want a newbie to pay low or someone with 5+ yrs with 10 first chair trials, its stupid.

Desantis destroyed our field generally.

I am looking to make a career change to HR. I currently make 75K as a sales and development coach. I had a recent offer for a state government position in a talent acquisition role but I’d be taking a $25K pay cut. I am extremely over qualified for the position but it could possibly be a stepping stone and gives me the time to acquire SHRM certifications and possibly start taking classes to get my MBA. My question is those currently in an HR role, would this move make sense to you?
