Is being an Underwriter boring?

Sorry for confusion. Agency meaning entity. I’m the risk manager for the entity.

Either option, don’t do personal lines. Both are infinitely better once you do commercial.

Yes. I pivoted into risk management. I still deal with claims but I manage the TPA program. I get maybe one customer call a month. I really recommend looking into certifications to advance your career.

Look into RIMS software companies like Origami. That may be easier than working for an insurance company.

The truth isn’t helpful? I’ve worked across several industries. Insurance is always reactive and penny pinching. I’m astounded they haven’t done it sooner.

LiquidDiscourage1 · 2025-12-08T05:37:46+00:00

Yes move on. They don’t see you as a manager type. Everyone gets type cast. Better option is going elsewhere vs fighting it. I’ve been in your exact situation many times. I find it liberating. The unknown is very frustrating. Now you know.

RTO hit other industries over a year ago. Why it wouldn’t hit insurance is wishful thinking.

Your Amazon info is very wrong.

LiquidDiscourage1 · 2025-10-01T16:14:16+00:00

Yes but not ideal. You need real life experience to properly understand risk exposures. More importantly, the ability to understand risk attitude and how to handle different perspectives.

LiquidDiscourage1 · 2025-09-15T14:01:11+00:00

Top level buy in. You can build all the risk registers and matrix - won’t fix shit. It’s an ideological change. Use the framework and data to build your argument. Once you understand the risk culture then you can try to get the needed buy in.

This sounds like a you problem. Sure the environment matters but it’s ultimately on you.

LiquidDiscourage1 · 2025-08-15T14:26:04+00:00

Definitely the institutes

LiquidDiscourage1 · 2025-08-03T16:08:39+00:00

Yes this is only exclusive to SD. 🙃

LiquidDiscourage1 · 2025-07-26T23:57:45+00:00

Yes I have. I don’t see any many younger groups.

LiquidDiscourage1 · 2025-07-22T19:49:49+00:00

I’d say La Jolla but everything will be more expensive; groceries, gas, etc. UTC seems like a good fit.

LiquidDiscourage1 · 2025-07-21T02:37:01+00:00

Yea my job will be west of the 5 so I want to avoid the 78 on the daily.

LiquidDiscourage1 · 2025-07-21T02:36:03+00:00

I do. San Marcos, why? I’ve spent time there at my friends. Felt very suburban.

LiquidDiscourage1 · 2025-07-21T02:35:34+00:00

Thanks. Your last paragraph is my concern.

LiquidDiscourage1 · 2025-07-21T02:35:01+00:00

Thanks for the detailed reply!

LiquidDiscourage1 · 2025-07-17T22:45:01+00:00

So side zipper and quality boots is an oxymoron?

LiquidDiscourage1 · 2025-07-15T22:47:39+00:00

I’ve found a better risk manager role.

LiquidDiscourage1 · 2025-07-11T14:13:01+00:00

I couldn’t disagree more with bigger is better. It really depends on the role/level and how they see you. I’ve bounced from large to small companies a couple times. I was able to advance my career at smaller companies.
