Those are “brokers”, friend. Big difference. Insurers = insurance carriers (underwriting companies) taking risk on the balance sheet. And no, it’s a great industry all along the value chain- carrier/broker/TPA etc etc

Re-reading my question I can see why you got defensive but I am sincere in my question about exit opportunities. I’m sure insurance is a great industry but where do people go after 5-8 years in?

smart

Not at all “defensive” just trying to help you better frame and define this $1T industry. Speaking from experience, here’s one potential career path: 15 years of successful career progression in global broker roles -> senior -level external hire to McK -> currently utterly frustrated with someone from KPMG’s inability to ask a clear question.

Answering this question is obviously tough for you. Appreciate your attempt in spite of your failure to be helpful. Though I did find your take interesting that McK is a reasonable exit op for marsh folks.

funny

It can be. Just like anywhere else, constantly have to demonstrate your worth. I’ve noticed recent departure seem to be EY FSO, Deloitte GPS, and in-house roles at tech companies in various mid/back office positions.

Some people might call those exits a graveyard.

I went to Marsh. Regret it.

Can you elaborate a bit on it....why do you regret...

Q1: How are your agencies handling returning to the office? Curious about both good and bad approaches. Specifically if any employers/leadership have addressed the employee question of “what’s in it for me?”

Q2: If your company were to give you a one week notice that you’d have to return to office 2x per week on mandatory days would you feel like that’s reasonable or uncalled for?

As someone with about 4 years of Data and analytics experience but not a lot of python experience, what sort of exits would you suggest? Trying to work on my resume but cannot think of where I would fit. I am technical but not extremely technical where I can crack FAANG. How do you decide what roles work best for you?

An MBA recent grad. I signed with MBB last year. However, I have always wanted to do tech PM. I couldn’t find PM job in Fall and just signed MBB offer I have. I recently got an FAANG offer. It’s PM function, hard to break in with consulting experience. I declined the new offer during interview stage and again after they gave me initial offer, but it is coming back with 80k more in annual compensation. It made me so torn!!

After 3 years of dealing with the worst firm I've ever had the displeasure of working for, I finally landed my dream gig at a small specialty firm. The people at the new firm are all SMEs featured in and contributors to the most notable business publications in the world, less than 100 employees, better benefits, unlimimted PTO, doubled my pay and landed a senior role.

Keep looking for what you want and deserve. I'm happy to be forging a better path away from what I've had to endure.
