On a scale from one to five, how stressful is your job? I didn't realize how stressful the insurance industry was.

3. I have worked in several industries and insurance is the least stressful. Working physically demanding jobs with on calls and emergency services was a lot more stressful. Dealing with people who just had a loved one pass or lost their entire life or home was way more stressful. I now can enjoy being a family man because I have the physical ability to do things with my family and it isn't interrupted by a call to go out on a job or working 80 hours per week.

I’d give it a four, mainly because being on the phone most of the day can be really stressful. That said, I previously worked in healthcare before moving into insurance, and healthcare was much more stressful than this.

It depends on the time of year. Sometimes I’m around a two or a three. But other times, I’m a solid four.

Many people aren't as they only look at the salary rather than researching what is involved.
The only insurance work I have done has been as a CSR for LTC and a contract role as a CSR during AEP.

It’s now been about a month since I cold applied to all big 4 firms for upcoming winter internships. I’ve tried reaching out to some of the recruiters in the area I applied for but no response.

I recently had a specialist partner send me a fairly nasty email after I (a transactional first year) was told to ask them to review something ASAP that had clearly been on my partner’s radar for over a week. Why am I taking the (honestly justified) blame for this? Surely it should be obvious that I’m just the messenger here.
