Pívot to Finance as a Financial Professional 3rd post: One of the fundamental principles that drew me to insurance based products is risk pooling. By spreading the risk across a large group of policyholders, insurers can provide financial protection at a reasonable cost. This pooling mechanism helps ensure that individuals aren’t financially devastated by a rare but costly event. Personal experience with friends and family who needed this. Excited to help others with life products!

We have sales people in Canada and the US, the Canadians make 150K CAD and down here it’s 150K USD, the Canadians argue they should be making 30% more than the US colleagues to be equal bc of the exchange! I explain the salary is dependent on the market data for them in Canada, WHERE THEY LIVE, and you can’t compare it to the US employees and the market data down here. Overall they are both in the 75th% for total comp. for their industry. Am I wrong?
