I’m currently working in a mid size regional carrier on the operations side (policy servicing + some UW tasks). I’ve been trying to pivot into a full underwriting role, preferably in commercial lines. but most openings want 2–3 years of dedicated underwriting experience.

I’ve completed my AINS and am halfway through CPCU, but I keep getting stuck in the “support role” bucket when applying.

Any advice on what specific things can I do (or say on my resume) to get a full on underwriting role?

How much have you tried to get experience in your current role? If I were you, I'd try to do whatever you can to get some experience for your current company, like you could ask your manager or an underwriter on your team if you can assist with renewals, risk analysis, or pre-underwriting reviews? Even 5–10 hours a month would allow you to put underwriting experience on your resume.

Thank you I will reach out to provide more assistance on those type of transactions. Would I be able to show that on my resume?

I am trying to get out of Sales and into UW, and have my CPCU. Still easier said than done.

How long have you been trying?

Even if EY matches my salary, and promote me to Manager, I will be an EY Manager with a Deloitte SC salary, and probably won't be able to go to D in the future. What do you think? I have built up a good relationship with my Partner and SMs at EY though.
