Hi everyone, I have been an insurance agent for 8 years now and in my city there is less movement to a leadership or uw roles. I have been thinking of completing my CIP course I only finished one course so far, but from your experience did anyone find it worth investing the time and did completing it help you find a better role or make more?
I appreciate your insight

Personally, I did not find it to be useful. I always think that experience is better than courses or certs. That being said, I am sure there are people who would say it was very useful to them.

It can help. I would probably try for the roles first, and if I can’t get traction, then I’d consider finishing the CIP.

For the MBA programs I'm looking at this score is fine but is this a score that can help my BCG app in a MCOL Canadian city?

Friend of mine was supposed to receive an offer (told verbally) from Deloitte and then just found out they are pausing on hiring the role. How common is that? Seems wildly unprofessional that none of the partners called and instead it was the recruiter conveying that news. At McKinsey, if that happened, the head of the practice or the office would personally make the phone call at the very least.
