I’m interviewing for an operations assistant role because it’s the only callback I’ve gotten so far. Will starting in operations help me transition into underwriting or claims later on?

That's how I got my start! It's a great way to learn the business and definitely gave me a leg up once I moved into the UW training program.

An operations assistant role would be a good stepping stone for jobs in underwriting or claims. It's a natural feeder role for those areas. A lot of underwriters would have started in operations as that's where they'll learn how a policy "works."

I’ve been thinking about this for awhile now, but it is very to commit to actually accept a new job offer since I really do love my job. My only complaint is, the pay vs workload is very small. I’m a manager now and my property offered me a director position… but the salary is still low! To make six figures, it’ll take another 5-6 years to grind it out.

Should I move on and go to a different industry? Opinions are welcome! Thanks in advance.

I’m looking for some advice and/or to vent a little. I’ve been looking for a sales job specifically to pivot into tech sales and I’m getting rejected non stop and it’s really starting to weigh on me and ruin my confidence.

The positives are, I’m actually getting interviews- about 5 so far, I get to the later/last rounds but can’t seem to close the deal. I’ve tried learning from each experience, and taking that as growth for the next interview but it hasn’t worked.
I have 7yrs total sales exp.
