I’ve been in life underwriting for over 20 years and honestly have never enjoyed it. The strictly production related work is hard for me to stay focused and be interested in the job. Any ideas on what else I can do and still make decent money? I’ve always found it pretty stressful and would prefer a less stressful position.

I kinda disagree with going to claims. I started out in claims and moved to UW. When I was in claims (WC) the case load was unmanageable. Im currently in group benefits, we have peak seasons but it pretty manageable. That’s just my experience.

Since you have an insurance background, maybe something in claims would be more your speed. Definitely less pressure in terms of production.

Claims or audit

Claims for sure! A lot less pressure and a lot less stressful I would think, although I never did underwriting.

Thanks for the replies. I don’t know if there is a job in claims where I could make what I’m currently making in life underwriting. Any thoughts/ideas on transitioning to a different field with my experience?

Look into internal auditing
