I recently moved from a carrier to a TPA. I practiced law, moved to claims and now handle niche claims. I moved from the carrier for a more remote environment and growth opportunity. I have become responsible for so much more but feel like I made a mistake leaving the stability of a carrier. I work more now, feel unsteady and like I am not qualified to lead even though I have great experience. I want to move to management and further my career but can’t shake imposter syndrome and fear. Advice?

Hang in there. As you progress through the position, you will keep gaining more experience. I have never met an adjuster or an attorney who hasn’t made a mistake. It’s how do you respond when you make a mistake. You can let it eat you up inside or you could take that and put it in the bucket of experience and keep making headway. Sometimes it’s a grind and sometimes it comes with a sense of fulfillment. You will be fine, just know that everyone has made the mistakes.

TPA work can be much wilder. Understand that you will need to be more bold, adaptable and confident. Just do your best and trust your past experience and don’t be so afraid of making mistakes. As long as your decisions are well reasoned and supported by the facts at your disposal, even if it is a mistake it will be ok. We cannot avoid mistakes, but we can avoid mistakes that are the result of negligence or laziness. As long as you are not negligent or lazy, you have done what you could. Perform your duty and be detached from the results.
