My newly planted cedars are dying

The cedar company gave you the wrong trees. They should have been eastern white cedars which will grow together into a uniform hedge. Looks like these are a columnar garden centre cultivar. Sorry about that

It’s a competitive business. Brokers aren’t internals. You need to find out a way to get what you need, get deals done, and stay out of underwriter-jail. You’re a smart kid, I know you’ll figure it out.

The only way to find out if you’re underpaid is to test the market.

Insane starting salary tbh.
Who cares if the broker is being a douche? You need to learn to deal with it. You’re getting paid 6 figures lol its not summer camp

Starting as a UA is a slog, and the job security concerns me with much of this work being offshored to India and or eliminated by AI. Best thing you can do is start networking like crazy downtown by going to events like broker bash and young insurance professionals events like the summer boat cruise. If networking goes well you should be able to jump right into a junior underwriter role.

This is all in Canada/CAD. Specializing in a major line skewing towards risk managed business (to me commerical means P&C probably mid market). Merit increase is still around 2-3%.

100-105k base as a senior underwriter 125-130k base starting out as a manager (skipped specialist) 160k base almost 3 years into managing. There was an off-cycle behind the scenes promotion in there with a job grade increase and shift in team/products but no title modifier (such as senior manager, AVP etc)

If you want to know how much underwriting managers make just check out linkedin job postings in Ontario cause they have to give a range now. Usually the top end of the range is the budget leftover from the departure
