I'm trying to figure out which of these management roles to take – Markel or Chubb. Pay and the whole WLB thing seem pretty similar right now. But I'm thinking about the future and want to move into a bigger leadership spot down the road. Anyone know about the overall vibe about growing people and promoting from within? Basically, which place is going to give me a better shot at long-term leadership goals?

Markel unless you are a big fan of Game of Thrones.

There’s growth opportunities at Chubb but it takes a long time. The higher you go you end up waiting for people to retire for those jobs to open up. Also very competitive at those levels.

like

Chubb is much more highly regarded as a competitor. Take the job with the more prestigious company if all else is the same.

like

I’ve recruited out of both, and the people from Chubb tend to talk about leadership programs and mentorship. The ones from Markel often mention autonomy and trust. Different flavors of leadership growth, so it depends on how you like to lead.

So, you’ve reached the stage of your career where you care more about cashing a fat paycheck than making “creative ads”. You’d rather have the resources and free time to fulfill your creative itch outside of work than try to sell the next big idea to an 28 year old marketing manager with an annual budget of 150k. How do you make the absolute most money as a copywriter while still working a 9-5? Asking for... a... friend?
