|
|
Hi,
I stumbled upon this site and it seems like a very welcoming and helpful community. So, I just wanted to post a question:
I just had an interview with a small insurance company recently in the the bay area of Northern California. I am not licensed and have no experience in the insurance industry. I just graduated college recently and have been looking for a job. So, the position I interviewed for was a sales/office support position in the company. The executive said that he would send me to get training for insurance at the company's expense if I did well in the position as office support.
He offered me $26,000 base salary and said after I got my license I would be making around $30,000. The job is a full time position with benefits (medical and dental after after the probationary period). Is this a fair salary for an entry-level position?
Any help would be great! Thanks!

| I'm only taking a guess but I think that is on the low end. There are many sites that will give you a general idea of what adjusters make in different areas. I think many companies pay in the 80% median range. |

Tcope, she's working in an agents office, not adjusting... | Quote: | | the position I interviewed for was a sales/office support position in the company |
For a small to medium agents office, I think this sounds about right myself.

Oh, from the following I thought it was an insurance company.

OP, I think you meant to say an insurance agents office, not insurance company. |

I can see how you got that T, I blew past it the first time too...so I think too low for an entry non-experienced adjuster...about right for a non-experienced front office for an agent. (IMO)

I think it's definately on the very low end. If the benefits are very good and low-cost it may make a difference. That said, it's not terrible. I would ask to be reviewed within 6 month period with the understanding that a good review would get you an x% raise.

| Well, I think that at times you have to compromise with some elements to get bigger returns in the future. The OP is neither experienced nor has the license to sell insurance. Hence, he has to start from the scratch. He indeed has got a good opportunity to start with his desired career, if he can capitalize on this, he can increase his income sufficiently in the coming days. Remember he is also getting the on job training, which is an added benefit. |
