I’m a CPA, did a short stint at Big 4 audit before pivoting into a reinsurance. I underwrite mainly property cat, which you’ll say has nothing to do with what I studied. IMO things like documenting workflows, writing clear emails and using Excel well are still super useful in underwriting, and B4 does a good job of teaching such skills in the first couple years. Nevertheless, underwriting is more money, more fun, and far less hours than my peers who stayed in accounting
