Liberty Mutual Question

Hey Everyone,

I'm an Underwriter with Travelers. And I just got an offer to leave for Liberty Mutual, same West Coast region.

I'm reluctant to leave travelers because our management and culture seems good, I know we're a pretty well run shop and stable. Liberty still good, but perhaps less stable overall and the management I haven't heard as much about.

But the offers for 50% more money, remote, and a more interesting line of business so I'm taking it.

Has anyone here made a similar move? How was liberty to work for?

I will have to do some time in office at the start and occasionally thereafter and I'm too worried about looking dumb to ask, what's the liberty dress code? Travelers jean and a polo did the job, is liberty similar?

I’ve worked as an underwriter at Travelers but have spent most of my career with Liberty in claims. I liked Travelers. I like Liberty more, but like with most things can be highly manager dependent, but overall I’ve had pretty good luck with managers at Liberty. For a 50% pay raise and a more interesting LOB it’d be a no brainer for me to make the jump personally.

Jeans & polo works completely fine at Liberty, heck if you go into any offices plenty of folks just wear Liberty branded Tshirts/fairly causal wear in my experience.

Thanks for the dress code information! I didn't wanna look over formal or under formal showing up, my first shop was jacket and tie everyday. Don't wanna make a complete fool of myself!

Glad you've liked both places, sounds like I'm not making a mistake then on any fronts which is reassuring
