I’ve been with a small finance company for 5 years. I was promoted to an Underwriter within a year of being there. Now I feel it’s time to move on, because due to it being a smaller company, there’s not much room for growth and pay. Any suggestions? I’ve been applying for the last couple months pretty consistently.

The job market is pretty wild right now, so it's smart that you started your search before leaving your current position. Just remember, the grass isn't always greener! Do your research when the time comes to choose a new company. I made the mistake of leaving a small company for better growth also and really miss the flexibility I once had.

Correct. I’ve wrote down everything I appreciated about the small company, and transformed them into questions during interview. Because I want to be sure that if I decided to leave, it’s good chance I’m leaving for a pretty good company. No guarantee, just a good chance it’s good company if my questions are answered to my satisfaction

Smaller companies have great things, but some glaring gaps can only able to be filled in larger places. Agree that the job market is wild, so it might take some time, but I think it’s a good idea to explore and see what works best for you.

Thank you. Will continue to explore!
