I’m currently in Underwriting but I’m thinking of switching over to the corporate risk management side. Is this something I should do? Any advice would be welcome.

Out of curiosity. How would a company view a potential candidate who has a period of unemployment to study for the CPA. I am considering to start studying for the exam but I know I would need to leave my employer in order to give 110%. I am contemplating the idea of at least passing one part while employed. Then leaving my employer to study FAR. I am considering to leave my current employer anyways, so it’s more of how my future employer would view that lapse.

Anybody sit for the CIA exam? If so what was the process like for you? Level of difficulty, time required to study, materials used, etc. thanks!

It has really disheartened me and I feel I should be earning more money

Do I take the high salary and stay in claims or go for UW in hopes it will be best in long run?
