I've been working in ID litigation for about four years now, but have been interviewing for an adjuster position with one of my clients. Just wondering if anyone has ever made this type of career switch and the pros/cons that come with it. I'm a bit nervous about the potential transition (assuming I even get an offer). Thanks!

I became a claims counsel in-house (for a surety but it's an insurance company). I handle some of my own claims and manage outside litigation. I never appear in court myself or handle any litigation myself. It's a breeze.

I know people who are recovering lawyers that became adjusters and they seem to enjoy it. Some eventually become managers.

Just don't expect significant salary jumps or huge bonuses like at a firm.

I'm 16 years in and was 15 years in when I made the jump. I would encourage you to move out of ID into a traditional firm, unless you truly hate being a lawyer.

Years ago when I worked Fire Claims (early/mid 2000s), there was an in-house defense attorney that switched to Casualty Claim Rep in Fire Claims. It was conveyed that he enjoyed the switch, was less work/less stressful. Plus, he was getting close to retirement. If you do make the switch, I wouldn’t doubt you’d have invaluable information/insight to bring to your new peers!

Keep in mind that most companies are very much metrics driven in the claims environment. Idk how it is with ID Litigation. But, something to prepare yourself for, if you do switch.

What is the advice on what feedback to leave for a peer who really sucks at everything y'all have worked together on? It's about the time where everyone on my team requests feedback from each other and I'm nervous for it coming up. My manager knows that everything I've worked w her on I end up doing 90% of the work when it's meant to be split so it is a known issue. We're both at level 3 so are genuinely peers. She seems like a nice person but i have 0 positive work feedback tbh
