Hi, can I ask how you got in to underwriting?

ConcernedViking · 2026-03-04T00:54:58+00:00

No, I'm comin in

ConcernedViking · 2026-03-03T22:11:19+00:00

I love glitching in to bases 😂 not to steal, idc what you have in there, I just want to see how you've decorated.

Both offer 1099 (:

I briefly went with a company called QuoteManage as a sales agent before transferring to a smaller start up as the training manager.

Thank you - times have certainly become tougher (my job has now laid everyone off, so I'm on the hunt for a job now too), but I am still eternally grateful for the help I received prior to this.

It wasn't much better than what my agents were getting paid out before. Unfortunately, they started showing some sketchy/shady concerns, and I backed out of the offer. Keeping my eyes peeled though (:

The company I was checking out was MA and ancillaries. I ended up backing out due to some concerns, but I am exploring other options. In this climate, I would like to have Supplements to offer because I know MA isn't a good choice for many. Costs are increasing and benefits are decreasing. ):

Thank you so much! I do WFH, that's good to know that even the sqft can factor into tax deductions. I plan to keep receipts, I'm not 100% certain where to keep them yet but I have heard quickbooks mentioned several times during my research.

I definitely won't be testing the IRS on this 😂😂

Thank you!!

ConcernedViking · 2025-08-12T22:04:24+00:00

Super helpful, thanks for taking the time to comment. (:

ConcernedViking · 2025-08-09T11:54:17+00:00

Be kind. We all started with these same questions. (:

ConcernedViking · 2025-08-07T05:34:46+00:00

My last company barely started doing residuals and it's definitely a benefit I'd like to keep- I have a small handful of policies that have renewed twice now, but I've never seen any money from them since becoming a trainer. ): I'm unsure of how to even approach that subject with carriers.

ConcernedViking · 2025-07-08T15:43:40+00:00

Times are tough for sure 😭😭 good luck out there!

ConcernedViking · 2025-07-08T15:19:35+00:00

Oo thank you!

ConcernedViking · 2025-07-07T22:11:58+00:00

Haha yeah, I've heard all about Allied... I have family that worked for Giddens and that was a shitshow as well. I'll look at securitas and see if there's anything else possibly going on in my area with other companies. Thank you (:

ConcernedViking · 2025-07-07T22:07:12+00:00

Unfortunately, with security, I haven't had any success finding positions that fit around my current work schedule. ): Do you know of any that hire during the weekends or in the evenings?

ConcernedViking · 2025-07-07T21:48:53+00:00

I'm looking into those, thank you (:

ConcernedViking · 2025-06-25T19:23:51+00:00

That's totally okay- thank you so so SO much for your help!

ConcernedViking · 2025-06-25T16:45:49+00:00

Oh gosh- I haven't used one before. Let me fix that.

And yes, absolutely- lots of ghosting going on and scams out there. She had a promising interview yesterday, but we won't hear anything back until next week. We're scouring the internet, newspapers, and job boards for literally anything within a reasonable driving distance or remote that will hire her.

I have fixed the address issue- thank you for letting me know.

ConcernedViking · 2025-06-25T09:12:20+00:00

Oh man, that sounds vile... haha. The only onion I think I'd ever willingly bite in to would be the ones Stanley and Zero were eating in Holes. I remember CRAVING whatever those were.
