re: Life Insurance Underwriting

I do not want to write insurance. I make a good salary being a case manager. I just seriously was asking if any one here is an underwriter and if they can validate that the program I'm starting is a good one.

Do you think the Academy of Life Underwriting is legit and worth it?
I'm not familiar with these classes, most of the people I know who do this take FLMI classes.

That’s not why I was asking! I’m asking because many of my case managers are in Texas. Just was wondering if you and I communicate almost daily and not even know it.

I'm with a small company based out of Utah. So no, we probably don't talk. And I need a dang name change. I haven't lived in TX since 2012.

Ah ok

I've been doing it for 22 years. What's your question?
Eta: ignore the torch, he's clueless on this subject
Eta2: very, very few people succeed long term selling life insurance. Fewer than that actually earn a decent living. My wife and I both are underwriters, work from home, and both make well into 6 figures. Granted, we both have been doing it for 20 years. I have my FLMI, series 6, and series 26. She has FLMI and ALU.

What certification did you get?
I bought the books for The Academy of Life Underwriting. Just want to make sure that one is worth it or if there is a different one that is more valued.

Most everyone starts with FLMI and then goes to ALU. ALU is much harder

Sucks, I used to sell ins in my younger days and I was good at it.
Underwriting is reason I chose to move on.

Thanks for the advice. I'll look more into that one. I need three courses from them anyways to do the certification I was going to persue.
I did ignore him. I have absolutely zero interest in selling insurance.

But you said the same thing that I did retard, start with FLMI. And the "average" underwriter doesn't make six figs.
The average for a Sr is around 75K, I audit and manage several.
This is why you are too dumb to be an actuary like me, go read another APS Baw

Hey, I know this is TD but $75K isn't a bad living.
Sounds like I am on the right path, now time to just crack open the books.
Thanks gusy.

Well that’s simply not true

Yea, I know a lot of people that are very successful doing it.
Posted on 3/9/20 at 10:13 am to The Torch
No, the avg Sr underwriter in the industry doesn't make 75k, they make much more than that. Just b/c that's what your piss ant company pays doesn't mean everyone pays that. Don't forget the 10-15k bonuses as well.
Now go back to your cubicle geek.
