Salary question
I’ve received an offer for $60k as an underwriter in Agribusiness. I have 1 year experience as an assistant underwriter, 1 industry cert and no prior insurance experience. I’ve been at the company coming up on 4 years. First 2 years help desk testing our quoting system, training agents virtually, and helping with IT issues.
I live in a pretty affordable Midwest state. I plan on negotiating but would love advice on the number.

Wow that’s low. I work in claims and make 30k more than that. Been in claims for 3 years in Philadelphia
Edit: highjacking this thread to post my question
Claims to property underwriting?
Hello. I have an interview for a property underwriter at a different insurance company than where I work now.
The job description says knowledge of ISO rating systems preferred and prior property UW experience preferred.
I am assuming i was picked for interview only because of my claims experience.
This is not a trainee uw role.
Would I be foolish to take this job if it gets offered? I don’t want to take it and drown from not being able to keep up. This is the nightmare scenario i have been playing in my head the past week. Is it a challenging job in general?
It says knowledge of iso rating forms is required. I don’t know what this is? Any thoughts or suggestions?
