Hi,

I'm looking for some advice.

I'm currently a commercial insurance broker working in Dublin, Ireland & I'm extremely interested in traveling abroad. Hoping to go to the US.

I have four years of experience in large firms, I'm fully certified in Ireland, I have a first class honours degree business degree, where I majored in Risk Management & Insurance.

Is it difficult to find a job as an expat, are there many barriers to entry & what states would be the best bet?

Thank you for your help.

Insurance companies are all about diversity in the US, and that of course goes much further than the color of your skin. LiMu’s outgoing CEO is Irish. It depends exactly what you want to do, but I imagine you Willis, HUB, Lockton, Brown & Brown, etc may be good options. Most of them have offices all over.

Hi, I need your honest opinion on this. Currently I have done AWS cloud practitioner certificate and want to progress but I don't think to like Solution Architect that much, I feel it will be boring for me. I love to create things, and love data manipulation, so I found this course in Google data engineer + AI... I feel it might be good fit for me. What do you think about it. Am looking for something I can study and stick with it long run. Thanks 😊.

This is my first job in a large corporate company, and I’m trying to gauge how long it normally takes to move from entry level to another internal position in the insurance industry. I have been applying internally for a year now and I am wondering if this is normal or if my company is just slow? I am a top performer, with great metrics, and I have some wonderful connections I’ve made who support me. I just can’t seem to move up. How long did it take you to move up? How many tries did it take?
