Go to a deal anaytics team. Search on workday. In any case, there are a number of teams that your skillset is more suitable for if you want to capitalize on $ and keep you more interested in what you like to do!

Consulting groups tend to be more Nationally focused / staffed by and large, so lines are blurred and there should be a bunch of options for you to pursue. Steps are going on workday to understand the types of positions that may interest you and if there’s merit in general, then talk to your RL about those positions and why it interests you more than what you’re currently doing. See what they say (ultimately it’ll be smoother to transfer w their support or a partner blessing eventually). Otherwise you can skip that step and have soft conversations with HR which you can pull them in concurrently so they’re not blindsided from a headcount standpoint. The key is getting pulled in from the other side (because your current team is always going to make it more difficult that it has to be if you’re good at your job). You just need to network and stay true to the process and why you feel this way in the first place. Chances are your team will dangle borderline false promises to give you opportunities etc… to which you’ll need to read through that BS, and go onward. They’ll eventually cave if you’re serious/ persistent enough about it as they’d rather keep you at the firm than lose you to a competitor or industry (your expensive to replace, especially since it sounds like you’re a senior or manager considering you were a DA, which has been somewhat retired for a while now).

My dilemma… I am an injury adjuster at a carrier experiencing high inventory that’s barely manageable. A competitor offered a higher salary and manageable workload.

Do I take the high salary and stay in claims or go for UW in hopes it will be best in long run?
