I’m curious to hear which insurance company has the best work life balance for a senior commercial or middle market underwriting role. I currently only handle new business, which I love, but see that other companies like liberty make you handle new business and renewals. Any insight is appreciated.

I have been working with Zurich for a little over 1 year and frankly, the work life balance is amazing!

Utica is excellent. Plus my role is 100% remote. Only handle NBS as well.

Auto-Owners is pretty chill when it comes to work life balance, mostly due to the flexibility provided by management. However, you have to be fully trained/close to it, to have 3 days WFH (the max right now).

I work 7am to 3:30pm with an hour lunch. I rarely have to work past 3:30 - maybe for a renewal or end of year push, but that’s about it!

EMC is very flexible. You get to choose if you want to WFH, office or hybrid. You do handle new business and renewals (larger only is being implemented soon). They are very flexible if you need to leave mid work day to pick up your kids, apts, etc as long as you are getting your work done.

How difficult is it to juggle a remote role with a hybrid role?

My current role is hybrid with at least two days a week in office. However, with the potential economic downturn, I'm considering holding on to the role to supplement my income.

I'm new to the overemployed movement, so I'm evaluating the feasibility of holding onto the hybrid role and the remote position.

Hello, I recently was reached out to by an in-house recruiter at a similar but slightly different company than the one I currently work for. The recruiter provided a base range and an OTE range.

I wasn’t looking to move, but that higher end range would set my family up very nicely for our goals. But I am happy at my current company. Help?
