How’s it working at a brokerage like Billyard ?
Is it better to work at intact as sales associate (insurance advisor) and get 45k pa or work in a brokerage like Billyard group on commission or 36k plus commission!

Commissions are better, no question. Billyard Insurance just got a new chief operating officer, Cody Douma, and will be more tech-driven. I feel like firms will suffer for not incorporating tech in operations.

Yes I’m working at Intact- started in Feb though. However I discovered working at brokerage will get you more money. At intact, we just have to answer calls we receive so there is not much of aspect of selling insurance per say.
And in future if I have to go to brokerage I’ll anyway have to start from scratch so might as well start now. But just wanted to get an insight. Any idea how much one can make in commission at a brokerage in their first year?

Working as a sales associate at a larger company like Intact can offer more stability and the potential for more structured career growth. However, you may have less flexibility in your work schedule and potentially a lower commission structure, which can impact your earning potential.

Well my last job was working as business consultant earning 65K at EY and was fired for no cause in October 2022 so tbh, I don’t think it matters anymore.

Had to take a pay cut for 20K and now working at intact but I feel if I can get more money by commission then why not. But I wanted to get an insight of selling insurance. I am good at communication with people but have never been in sales career tbh.

Looking at exits into pharma and biotech. Have an opp at a biotech at the SM level.

Very good benefits package.

They envision 2-3 years before I jump either to AD or right to D. Solid opp? Or hold out to go straight to director level?

This may be an unpopular opinion.

But I think it's kinda shitty that when FAANG people get laid off, everyone feels bad for them and they get so many resources to get rehired, but the same is not true for people that get laid off at smaller lesser known organizations.

Like those FAANG people will be fine, they got generous severance packages. The people who actually need help often get overlooked or are forgotten.

I feel a little crazy saying this, but more money at this point doesn’t resonate. I see a ton of exit planning and boomerang threads here, but I’d take a 50% pay cut (or a 50% raise) for an exciting role. That’s totally privilege talking, but I just can’t imagine chasing extra money in PE or lateraling just for the money. No virtue signaling here at all. I actually worry on some level that I’m somehow a moron for not giving a thought to maximizing earnings.
