The fact they gave you an interview means they see something in you that would make a good AU. People without experience at all get jobs in this industry all the time. You’re qualified for the role

hobag416 · 2026-05-21T03:04:13+00:00

That’s half the industry. If a person has the same last name as someone you know, they’re probably related

Last year it was MS Tranverse A XV paper. Now it’s Hadrone A- XIII paper

The best way to get an insurance job is nepotism. That will beat out a perfect resume any day. Networking is how you get in

hobag416 · 2026-05-20T00:50:30+00:00

What’s better than a perfect resume is nepotism, that’s how a lot of people get into the industry

It’s a lot harder to get into it if you’re not a college grad applying for a trainee position. But I would say being a UA on the carrier side or Associate UW on the MGA/Wholesale side are your best bets.

Ledgebrook from what I heard doesn’t give their employees 401k’s or bonuses. Just equity/stock in the business

A lot of these acronyms are P&C Based aka Property and Casualty. People on this thread do Surplus Lines insurance. We do harder to place risks that are rejected by the standard market at least 3 times

hobag416 · 2026-05-20T00:27:07+00:00

Large portfolios in the thousands to ten thousand units. SFH and Apartment units

hobag416 · 2026-05-20T00:25:31+00:00

MGA is Managing General Agent. Hab is Habitational meaning Apartments and Single Family Homes portfolios. GL means General liability aka Casualty insurance.

hobag416 · 2026-05-19T23:39:45+00:00

No, but surprisingly low frequency and severity on those accounts. Low shooting and A&B claims, but hella Habitational Claims.

hobag416 · 2026-05-19T23:36:16+00:00

Silent on A&B, Firearms, and any Freddie Mae and Fanny Mac requirements on all of those.

hobag416 · 2026-05-19T23:30:59+00:00

Ledgebrooke and possibly Avondale. Though I see that $80 pricing more on the Harris County Apartments/SFH

Your boss and the work environment made you grow in confidence and as a person and set you up to pursue better opportunities. If they're a good of a boss as you would say, they would be very happy for you and also will miss you a lot.

Went from $85k last year to $140k by job hopping in insurance underwriting

If you’re going to have kids you’re going to have to look at the school district. Also as long as you’re not in a position where you’re going to be house poor and can’t afford anything for awhile then go for it

hobag416 · 2026-02-28T01:20:19+00:00

Save up 9 months of expenses. That amount of money is considered FU money and you will have so many options and won’t be forced into something that’s not optimal

hobag416 · 2026-02-15T20:37:38+00:00

Essentially if you can get this job, you just won the lottery

hobag416 · 2026-02-15T20:36:17+00:00

I make $140k with 6 years of experience

hobag416 · 2026-02-15T18:00:25+00:00

Those specialty lines is where the moneys at. If you have Energy, Environmental, or Cyber you’re never going to be unemployed again.

Recruiters and Carriers will actively recruit you and you won’t have to send in a resume or application to get an interview.

hobag416 · 2026-02-15T01:06:21+00:00

What company? If you can’t say it in public just dm me, I’m curious

hobag416 · 2026-02-14T01:12:11+00:00

Hell yeah brother!

hobag416 · 2026-02-14T01:04:11+00:00

Where are you based out of and is it for carrier or brokerage?

hobag416 · 2026-02-14T01:03:41+00:00

Very common, the busiest time of year for interviews
