I've been thinking about leaving the insurance industry but I'm worried my timing isn't great. Are there any other industries that are as stable as insurance or should I stick it out here for a while longer?

I'd stick it out for now. Maybe not for stability, but because it's impossible to find work in a field you've got experience in right now. Or at least it is for me. I can't imagine how much harder it'd be trying to break into a new one entirely.

I have also been wanting to get out of insurance and research what else I may qualify well for. Good Luck! I think if you're employed, take your time and learn all you can with searches on the internet and talking to people like through venues like this one.

A good pivot is finance, if you have that aptitude. Finance is not going anywhere.

I did try to get out in my 40s. Being a vet tech wasn’t going to be very lucrative and there’s too much heartache in veterinary for me. Then I went to corporate B2B. The work felt completely void of meaning.

Insurance seems to give me a way to help people without also breaking my heart. There are lots of job types IN insurance. There are all kinds of insurance products. If you’re just at the beginning of your career, you can try different things within it to see what you might like.

In basically every industry, entry level candidates are faring far worse than people who have experience. Stay in the industry where you have the experience that can help see you through.

Have final round interviews at BCG tomorrow. I'm at S& right now at the SA level. Father had a sudden health issue come up this week and it's got me off my game. I'll ultimately need to support him financially for at least a year while he recovers. Not complaining, but has me considering just dropping out of the interview process. Is that crazy? Is the opportunity with BCG really so far beyond what I have already with S&? Is dropping a better look than interviewing and doing terribly?

I found a company I was really excited about working at. I applied for the job and went through 5 rounds of interviews. At the end they said I was OVER qualified and they want me for a different position higher up in the company. I was super excited they then had me go through 5 more rounds, 3/5 people were the same. The interviews mostly went "didn't you get the job, I highly recommend you? I'll just put you down as a 10". After those were done they told me I was UNDER qualified. Can't win!
