I'm curious what the average salary is for an Associate Agent. I'm licensed & do everything after the sale is made as well as refer new business. I have 14 years in the industry but have been at the current company less than a year, so I know that plays a part as well. Anyone in a like-position by chance?State Farm Allstate Travelers

B4 background checks will question the discrepancy with the job title. I had a similar issue where I was legitimately a certain title but the HR system at my previous firm was outdated and gave everyone in my department a weird title, and the company didn’t care enough to fix it.
You’ll just have to explain it and the company will decide if your explanation is good enough
I plan to be upfront that I didn’t manage people but just the finances but they slapped me with an associate title even though the person before was an assistant controller. I’ve always said I was a manager Bc it wasn’t a big deal but now I’m worried with the background check and transitioning to a bigger firm
They outsource it to one of a handful of companies. They do a light check on your criminal history and will call the HR department of your last company to confirm your time there and title. That company informs you of their findings and passes them on to the firm. The firm then decides if anything warrants further questions.
These checks tend to be after you accept an offer, so the bar is pretty high for what would warrant further conversations.

Associate to SA is the same level. Try to say you had VP responsibilities. Not worth it to lie.
