For those who currently work as an Underwriter, what can you tell me about the job or work you do?

Question

I'm thinking about a career change from an Accountant to an Underwriter, whether commercial or consumer loan underwriter. Just want to know more details about it, and if it's for me.

Answer 1

if you like working with people, claims isnt a bad direction to go. usually within insurance industry theres lots of room to move around in (im currently with one doing finance right now, but very easily i can move around to accounting, underwriting, marketing, risk management, etc). Try it out, see if you like it, thats my suggestion.

Answer 2

They just clear stipulations and get laons closed for consumers, a pretty easy gig, although stressful at times.
