Its easier than personal auto
Yes that is stressful, I have been there. Have you thought about other lines
It depends on what you define is easy. Easiest to make money has been life insurance easiest to sell has been Medicare advantage plans.
I’m currently getting out of insurance as well and moving into technical writing
That’s an accurate distinction. “Easy” can mean income, stress, or day-to-day interaction, and those don’t always align. I work with a number of professionals exiting insurance, and transitions like technical writing tend to work best when the experience is deliberately reframed so it’s understood outside of an insurance context.
I’m in home/auto and bored stiff by it. I need out of sales.
Underwriting is a very natural next step with a CPCU, especially when you’re looking to get out of frontline sales. What I see most often is that the credential alone isn’t the issue — it’s how the experience is positioned for UW roles and whether the resume clearly signals underwriting readiness. Relocation can actually help in cases like this, particularly where carriers concentrate underwriting teams.
In addition to asking about lines you should be thinking about markets. Selling life insurance is hard to individuals but to the right markets such as professionals it is comparatively easier. Doctors, lawyers, and accountants all deal with patients and clients that died prematurely and see the need for life insurance, Plus their incomes mean that they can afford the solution you are selling. Long answer short look for specialty markets and products (your thinking cyber fits this specialty approach but then everyone else is as well) where expertise and relationships matter most.
Good luck
Yes you are right the clientele did play a major part but majority of owners mess up their policies by loans or reductions and that’s where I become the problem
I LOVED when I worked in what that company called Special Lines. I dealt, over the phone, with MC/mth/mbh/bt/TT. I also worked all states but CA (go figure huh. lol). Grant it, I wasn't licensed so I didn't sell, however, I did have to "upgrade" (sell) as they called it so they didn't have to pay us more
No. I worked there 32 yrs, took some time off, Went to work at a bank call center, retired
Oh how I relate. Im in P & C and working with "people" is definitely difficult these days. I've been looking for a new role for 5 months now and it's exhausting. I keep getting to round 2 or 3 and then they change the role, lessen the pay and then call you overqualified.
Insurance is what I do, and wish I had a good lead to a great opportunity, company and role. I dont know what I would do outside P & C so hopeful something will land... sooner than later.
My very best to you!
This is something I help people work through quite a bit. What you’re describing — getting to later rounds and then having the role quietly reduced in scope or pay — is happening a lot right now, and “overqualified” becomes the convenient explanation. In practice, tightening role targeting and deliberately positioning your experience to match the actual level a company is prepared to hire for can make a real difference.
YOP, do you feel like life isn’t a slam dunk like auto and homeowners is? What do you actually do in that area?
Claims, it’s not the prettiest but is consistent, I just feel I have plateaued and don’t have that initiative anymore
Easy one, CAR INSURANCE! It is mandatory in most states, and you can lose your car AND go to jail, be fined, charged insane legal fees, and even lose your privledge to drive in many states if you don't have at least the minimally required coverage. It is a criminally genius scam, I mean requirement in its simplicity.
Face it, the minimum requirements are preset, and if you can't afford it, you don't drive. Simplicity in mandatory conformity.
General insurance ! Less regulations and more peaceful
Environment
I have been thinking about going back to homeowners lately or maybe commercial lines again.
Homeowners is getting difficult as many companies are upping the wind & hail to 1% and many are putting in roof age limits (many even looking for less than 10 years old). Even working in an independent agency with multiple companies to quote with it is almost impossible with these restrictions that are being implemented.
I’m in events now with an insurance company and I love it. I pray to God that I never have to sell insurance again. It’s brutal. Health is favorite tho. I have Prop, Cas, life and health.
I see this a lot with people who’ve spent years in life insurance. The challenge usually isn’t finding an “easier” line — it’s figuring out how to reposition that experience so it translates into roles with less people friction. I work with professionals making these kinds of pivots, and the biggest lever is how their background is framed for adjacent fields like operations, compliance, tech-adjacent roles, or writing-focused paths.
