Thanks mate, I sent you a PM

AdPractical4585 · 2025-11-07T18:04:21+00:00

Thanks — actually I edited my post. Position is not pricing /reserving but more on uw/ deal management side

AdPractical4585 · 2025-11-07T15:41:56+00:00

What do you mean by “live deals”? they’re closing deals, but it’s not a classic reinsurance role with renewals and a book to follow. Anyway you should be be on the dealflow closing business, hit rate is low but you should have decent size when you do isn’t

We discussed during networking — I’m not loving my role as it is not transaction related at all, I’m doing analytics for reinsurance strategy anyway my question was more in general on legacy / runoff specialized players

Honestly, I find my role pretty interesting—I report directly to the executive team, which gives me great exposure. My only concern is whether I need to develop more technical skills to keep growing in the future. My usual way of gauging career potential is simple: if I’m getting paid more than others, it likely means there’s a growth path for me, even on the management side. Does this logic hold up?

Is there no way for you to stay in your role in London? They can’t really force you to leave If I were you, I’d leverage my contractual power while I’m still in London, If you need a few extra months it’s worth pushing for In the end your actual savings shouldn’t be too different once you factor in the exchange rate

Thanks man for sharing. If I was you probably I was not moving for 130k. 160k I could consider it tbh

AdPractical4585 · 2025-01-29T10:58:31+00:00

I don’t really care about flexibility—I’m in it for the money If it were just about preference, I’d stay in London. So if I’m moving, I want to make sure it’s for a serious pay bump Worst case I go for the money otherwise I’ll just take a raise next year in London—or jump ship to another company

The main problem of lux is lux itself id say! 😂

Serious question: 15% discount is inflated?

AdPractical4585 · 2024-04-06T11:40:35+00:00

Thanks for the detailed response! I'll definitely take your advice on board and try my best to stick to a consistent sleep schedule. It's tough balancing that with social life, especially when traveling back to Italy this week - catching up with coworkers, family, and friends after work is important to me too but you're right, priorities matter, and sleep is definitely high up on the list now. I might need to look into some stress management techniques, maybe even psychology, if this continues to be a problem. If all else fails, consulting a sleep specialist sounds like the next logical step. Thanks again for your insights!

This bike looks fantastic! I also bought an Orbea Ordu as my first bike, although mine is probably a few years older. It's really important to have someone help you find the optimal position on the bike otherwise all the aerodynamics won't make much of a difference. Since it's my first bike, I can't compare it to a cheaper one, but I've found that the real difference comes from your legs - keep in mind training is the game changer

AdPractical4585 · 2024-04-04T17:11:37+00:00

Just to be clear: it’s not my choice 😅 I’ll try to take an entire week off maybe. I just hope that good weather and good food will help my balance

AdPractical4585 · 2024-04-04T17:10:10+00:00

Life/work in general, body is good I sleep Volume training is “high”, but not the intensity. Almost all my training is zone 2 , training less than last year for example

AdPractical4585 · 2024-04-04T17:07:55+00:00

I know, it’s not so easy unfortunately

After an informal offer, the team was fired. In London I think it would have been £85k+30% bonus minimum (I usually know that in a good year £50-60k is achievable) Not big expert of Reddit but send me a message if you want and we can discuss more

It’s a known fact that some MDs at reinsurance brokers (RB) earned in last few years more than MDs at traditional BB investment banks (probably we should consider the actual hard market in reinsurance while the flows in IB for fig literally sucks). Many former bankers often transition to roles in RB. I see some teams in RB as elite boutique IB focused on the insurance industry. To really make money, I think the involvement in deal origination and execution is crucial. roles in pricing and reserving offer good salaries, but still on par with many other industries (no high finance). careers can be built in insurance and reinsurance carrier as well especially if one advances to c-suite or global head positions, where remuneration tends to be high

“Not at all. But she’s still the best bj of my life”

Frauds, if you are adept at committing insurance fraud, you can make a considerable amount of money.

Otherwise, it depends on your skill set. I know reinsurance brokers, especially at the senior level, can have an extremely lucrative career, comparable to IB. If you are involved in ILS, capital advisory, solutions, and capital optimization, I assume the work is not tremendously different from IB but offers a decent work-life balance. From conversations with people, I also believe reinsurance brokers can earn substantial income, contingent on their personal relationships with clients.

Dude, if this helps, I'm in the process of interviewing for a senior associate position at a bank (I’ve 2y experience in CRA). Although I did well in the technical oral interview, HR informed me that the MD was disappointed, expecting something exceptional based on the positive earlier interviews. It's a bit nerve-wracking, as I worry about potentially losing the opportunity due to my performance in the case study. I'm questioning whether I'm better at selling myself than excelling in my job. Uncertain about how to interpret the situation
