That post 4/30 bliss

I'm looking to find a job like the Forward Deployed Engineer role Palantir Technologies in the UK.
I have become hooked on finding a job that involves solving the kinds of problems they presented during their interviews. Although I got to the final round my performance anxiety got the better of me (I think I wanted the job a bit too much...). I will reapply after working in a similar company.
Is it "deep tech" / "data science" or "smart enterprise" that they're doing? Any advice welcome.
Anyone take the CIPM recently? How was it?
PwC India Hi Folks, I left my stable job at Deloitte USI and moved to Germany for a better job. But my mom had a major health issue and I'm planning to travel back to India to support her as I'm a single child. I'm working in one of the top organisation in Germany with a base of 90k euro and looking for good opportunities in India.

That is because the agency only gets paid by the carrier based on the premium received. So the agency gets paid monthly --> you get paid monthly. If they get paid in full --> you get paid in full. They can't pay you commission that they dont have yet,
Not necessarily true for all carriers/lines of business. If we have a direct bill policy we pay all of the commission after the down payment is made regardless of the payment plan.
It is completely legal and smart business for both of you. As another commenter pointed out, if the policy cancels and the agency gets charged back then they have to charge you back commissions. If you haven't earned enough to cover the chargeback you then have to write them a check. It also keeps your monthly income more stable because if they paid you upfront and there was a chargeback you might not get a check for a few months till they recoup the return commission.
It happens both ways and is legal. If you don't like it, sign up with a broker where you buy your own leads and commissions come directly from the insurance carrier. The benefit from monthly payments is when the customer cancels the policy after 6 months you don't have to pay all the commission you were paid back to the carrier. It can get messy and expensive.
If the policy is cancelled that agency is getting a chargeback. I totally understand why they’d pay as earned
some companies pay on a monthly basis while others pay in full the next month. Do speak with your employer because they might have different contracts depending on the agents.
