I made the switch i like it so far

I networked with people in the group and waited for the right opportunity. I networked for about a year learned more about the role and once i was ready it took about a 2 months to get all the right approvals and interviewed with 1 person. Took me two months because it was the middle of busy season.

Ive networked my way into other roles faster before. I took my time with this one because I’m at the manager level now.

The lower level you are the faster they’ll transfer you in you speak to the right people (in my experience) because your cost rate is lower + less responsibility

Doesn't that completely depend on whether or not you like project mgmt/development? I've worked with them before and I think it could be interesting in some ways and bad in other ways.

I don't think there's a generic "yes it's better" answer, although many people in this bowl often just say "accounting bad" and get likes lol.

It’s lower than my current salary and significantly lower than what I’d make by taking the first offer. Do I take the high salary and stay in claims or go for UW in hopes it will be best in long run?
