Do you have an agents license or a brokers license? If the latter, you should consider applying to one of the big brokerage - Aon, Marsh, Willis, Gallagher, Locton, etc.

What did you do prior to obtaining your license? Consider working for a brokerage that caters to businesses in your prior field. You’d have a leg up over others. Good luck.

I found a company I was really excited about working at. I applied for the job and went through 5 rounds of interviews. At the end they said I was OVER qualified and they want me for a different position higher up in the company. I was super excited they then had me go through 5 more rounds, 3/5 people were the same. The interviews mostly went "didn't you get the job, I highly recommend you? I'll just put you down as a 10". After those were done they told me I was UNDER qualified. Can't win!
