Imagine you're looking for a remote job at a large company with a sophisticated marketing function, strong manager, and room for growth. Making good traction, but then you're contacted by a company in a niche that FASCINATES you...like you read books about this subject for fun, you'd probably love this job. It's remote, the salary is good, the manager is nice, but you'd be the most senior marketing person; the company is about 200 people. What would you do?
I’d suggest starting as a loan processor. Many companies will hire without experience and train you. You can also do relatively well as a processor income wise, once you get good at it. It’s nearly impossible to start as an underwriter without any previous experience though.
I’ll also add, right now the mortgage industry is a little unstable (I just got laid off earlier this week) because the Fed has announce more interest rate hikes as the year goes on. Which means market compression will likely lead to some more layoffs in the industry
