Have a big interview tomorrow. The question I dread the most is about why you’re looking for a new job.

Do I just make something else up entirely?

I just got laid off from my job as a gov contractor because the project I was working on ended.

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?
