Not pay-i think tpas pay better. I mean everything else.

Second this. Know a lot of people who moved over just for the pay. I think, maybe carriers have a bit more security but the exchange is you’re getting less salary. I always hear it’s a mix of skilled and not skilled people from tons of carriers so it’s a lot of just make it work. Which can be hard when everybody is coming in with different experience. Also hear they expect you to walk in and know your role a bit more.

Just what I hear from former coworkers.

I work for a TPA under Aon and enjoy it. I underwrite new/renewal business. I guess the only downside is that we are at the mercy of our carrier. Recently another sector of the TPA who handled claims got absorbed by their carrier to do business directly from now on. I believe everyone from that team got new job offers from the carrier, but not sure if there were layoffs in the process.

I started in my first SDR position in a small SaaS start up few months ago. I am the only SDR and their first ever.
The base salary is ok but I haven’t received any commission structure up to this day.
I book an average of 3-5 demos per week. People always show up, but the thing that worries me is that I do not have a way to track how many meetings I book in our CRM,and to be honest I feel like I didn’t get the best training overall. Should I start looking somewhere else? Thoughts?

Thanks
