What is the salary of a Commercial Lines Underwriter?

Post by loudmouth »

I'm thinking of taking an offer to work for an insurance company as a Commercial Lines Underwriter. My question to you all is, what salary should I ask for and what is paid to underwriters in Southern Cal and Texas area.

I have a friend in the field but I do not like to ask personal questions to close friends.


Thanks

Before anyone can answer your Q,

1. What are they offering? (salary range)
2. What are you worth? (experience wise)
3. Will you be working as a production U/W?
4. What was your salary history?
5. What exactly is your duty? Assistant U/W or U/W? or VP of U/W?

If you have the experience and motivation to do your best, I'd ask for $50,000 to start w/ bonus.
