 | I work as an insurance underwriter in the Houston, TX area and am curious as to what the average salary is for this position. So if this is your line of work or know someone who is, what is the average salary? The company I work for offers great benefits, paid vacation and PTO-health benefits and 401k but I think i'm getting stiffed on the salary considering my workload and job description. Any info is a big help!

 | How to become an Life Insurance Underwriter? What are the procedures to be followed?
|
| |
| I am currently looking for a position as insurance underwriter and, I admit, my job search skills do not amount to much more than sending resumes to advertised positions online, such as on Indeed or CareerBuilder.
I would like to take a more proactive approach, such as finding the heads of underwriting departments at insurance companies and emailing them directly.
The question is, how would I go about doing that? Do I just look up insurance companies in the Yellow Pages, then call every single one and ask for the underwriting department head's email? How would you go about compiling a list of target companies?

 | I always thought that insurance underwriters in general analyze risk and assign appropriate premiums for that risk coverage but I have seen some positions (mainly P & C underwriting positions) where there is sales involved.
Casey Y. - thanks for the response; quick follow up question so then is all "sales" done with insurance agents and not retail customers

| I am making a career move and half way through my CIP (Chartered Insurance Professional). I hate dealing with irate customers. I love analyzing data and numbers. Can any one who works in insurance let me know if insurance underwriters enjoy their jobs and do they have to visit customers or work in an office?

What does this job do exactly (daily routine)?

| I have bachelors degrees in risk mgmt/insurance and Banking. I also have an associates degree in economics. I am fresh out of college and just looking at some options. I could go the banking direction but i find insurance a little more interesting. I would like to be an insurance underwriter instead of an agent because agents tend to work on commission and i really dont want that right out of college. So what are my chances of landing an underwriting job straight out of college? Thanks

I wanted a view from the people who actually worked or know people who work in the area. Like for example people who work in customer service hate it even though the description is good. Whats it like in insurance?

 | I graduated from college with a bachelors of mathematics in spring of 06 and last year I taught as a high school teacher. I want to explore other career options but I am having trouble finding the right fit. I do not have a drivers lisencse so a job requireing internal travel is not an option for me at this point. Where can I go to find jobs with so little experience, no driving experience, a bachelors in math, and decent enough pay to make a living. (I am thinking about 35k a year or more).
