What’s the going rate for a commercial senior underwriting role and what companies have you found to be most enjoyable with a solid work life balance? Personally love where I’m at, but curious to see what else is out there.

I just got promoted to Senior last June. Base of $94,500, with 7.5% target bonus for me. No complaints about work life balance. We’re only required to go into the office once a month, but the office is also open for us to go in if we want to (at least where I’m located). Work extra hours occasionally but not more than once or twice per month. Also curious to see what others have gotten for the same role

Awesome! Yeah I think it can vary to some degree depending on which office you’re in/the local management team but my experience has been very positive

Would any of you be open to a discussion about how to land such a position? I’m not loving the broker side and looking to pivot!

Internal and external networking. Our industry is relationship driven. Companies are still remote but building that network helps pivoting and check for recruiters on LinkedIn.

My company has a sr uw equivalent role posted at 101,500 - 127,000 in a Denver suburb. I’m in a similar COL area, one level below (not quite 5 yoe) making $121k. I expect the promotion later this year to put me well over $127k so maybe that isn’t actually the range…

I feel like every company lies about “working your way up.” You’re never allowed to blatantly say that you don’t like your position and you’d like to transition to HR or Finance. It’s almost as if once you get in claims, you’re stuck.

If you’re a manager and you see an employee that wants to branch out into a different department, why would you keep them boxed in for 2+ years?

Are there some background mechanics that I’m missing?
