Hi Everyone, I currently work as an underwriter and have been in the position for about two and a half years. I just recently graduated with a degree in marketing. Has anyone made a transition from underwriting to marketing in their organization? If so, any tips in making the transition.

I would recommend applying as a field underwriter / carrier rep. This would cover independent agents and RM Consultants like Marsh. Would be more profitable and allow you to host conventions and events.

I have been doing freelance/independent contract graphic design for 3 years, and I’m looking to take a position as FTE now.

There are a few smaller agencies in my city that I specifically adore and i’ve reached out/applied to open roles etc. One of them I even have a friend at, she has told me they are dying for more designers right now, but also so busy they struggle to make time for the hiring process.

Does anyone have tips on how to get past this sort of wall?

Hello, does anyone work as an auto underwriter for insurance? I recently got accepted for an internal job position and was offered $50k.

I believe because the company knows how much i’m making they lowballed me. Any tips on how to navigate the salary negotiation and can u share ur salary ?
