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

In my opinion, underwriting is significantly better. There is a greater work life balance and the job itself is more straightforward.
Underwriters make more money on average than a commercial line broker. The average salary for a CLB is somewhere around $55k where as I’ve seen $90k for an underwriter.
Why are you looking to make the switch? That maybe what I need to know before giving you any advise. Better pay, benefits, wlb??
As far as being an underwriter goes, there is a lot more stability. You can make decent money depending on what you do. As an experienced underwriter in commercial lines you can make six figures. There's not nearly as much risk and the hours are fairly stable.
I hear really good things about underwriting. I never made the jump myself but all my friends over there really love it. I would say if you have an interest, go for it.
Aside from the obvious advantage that it's a well-paid position, underwriters have relatively good job security because they learn many skills that are currently in high demand. If you think it's a good fit for you then give it a go!
Can you provide a little more context on your current position and the offer in question? (Salaries, etc.) Both underwriting and brokerage have their pros and cons. Also, although the average salary might be a little higher in underwriting, it’s not that hard to make 6 figures in commercial lines brokerage.
