I try not to talk about my job. If I need to I just state "Im in insurance". No I cant get you a quote or discount, nor do I care about what you pay. Small talk about 9-5 is something I try to stay away from. People are burnt out bc of work but also bc they never stop thinking about it. Stress 40-60 hours a week at work then stress or talk about it outside of work. I try to stay clear of that.

Same. I don't even want to think about work when I'm not there, much less talk about it.

I'm on the carrier side in broker relations so it's pretty easy to say I work on strategies to get brokers to sell more of our insurance to employer groups. But mostly I say "boring insurance job" and people don't ask follow up questions.
I help families and business owners prepare financially for the unexpected. My job is to make sure one bad day doesn’t become a financial disaster.
I say I'm an adjuster and no one ever asks what I do.
It’s difficult. There are memes that show the 7 principles of insurance. If someone is really curious you can try sharing that. But I don’t know of a really good 1 or 2 sentence description that encompasses the complexity of it. You say you’re an adjuster and most people just tune out.
