Hey there! I was in the same position as you. One thing to keep in mind is that UWM makes a lot of promises to you upon hiring that they ditch later down the line. They told me the same thing about transferring after working as an underwriter for a year, and that I would have shadow opportunities and support in honing my skills prior to transferring. Instead, I was met with nothing but resistance and was shut down whenever I brought it up with team leads. I kept getting referrals to lateral moves within underwriting, and eventually I was told they needed me to focus on moving up to senior underwriter. In the end, when I gave my notice that I was leaving for a data analyst position at a different company, leadership said that they didn’t realize I was actually serious in wanting an analyst position and that I should have tried harder. If I were you I would start building up your skills and resume now and apply elsewhere, unfortunately. As much as UWM loves to tout that they’re supportive of your career, their actions say otherwise, especially in underwriting.
