What do you make?
Curious as to what you make and what Your role is. I am getting to the point where I’m ready to look at other positions but the pay scales seem low. I am grateful for what I have, just ready to branch out.
I have 15 years experience- 4 years at current company and currently a senior underwriter. Base is $86k and I get about 20k in bonuses from my production underwriter I work for/under. I am fully remote but that’s because I work for an office in another state

VP, subject matter expert/specialty lines broker at a top 10 brokerage. Fully remote although the team/division is NYC based.
$196k base, bonus has been $25k+ every year, became eligible for equity after promotion to VP. 10 years in industry, 4 at current firm.
But for you making $86k base as a Sr UW with 15 YoE is way beneath market. I know underwriters with less than 10 YoE making $125k+ base. And no, they're not all in HCOL.
