I am done with insurance. 6 years as a AAA call center insurance agent and company was going downhill. Poor leadership, no career advancement which was promised and just toxic environment. Turn over becoming more and more. Sad.

Get out of a call center. You're not actually in the insurance and financial services industry in those places. Contact companies like New York Life or MassMutual. Even places like Nationwide, Prudential, Guardian, One America, etc., will get you into the industry in a way that can be very fulfilling.

Bonus - 10LPA (over 2 years)
RSU-137 (over 4 yrs) worth 13.5 LPA,standard Amazon vesting

I moved to my current company just a month back but Amazon process was in progress, so leaving in probation. I don't think they considered TC of my current company (17 LPA from 7.5 LPA) as it's been just a month. Any views regarding the offer and TC offered.

Thanks already!
