Curious about prospects of an underwriter
Catlin is part of the Lloyd's insurance market (Lloyds of London) - You can wiki for more info.
You can also check on their website, they do mainly reinsurance business - both facultative and treaty. Catlin is one of the fastest expanding Lloyds companies in Singapore.
Is the post for Underwriting Assistant position? If it is, then is most prob a fresh entrant position.
From my understanding they pay on 12 mths basis, not sure whether have any variable bonus.
Prospect is quite good, pay wise Lloyd's companies generally pay better than other insurance companies for fresh entrants.
I think they will provide exposures and training if you are fresh entrant.

a degree in actuarial is not required. I went into the industry with a diploma in IT, and while working I pursue an arts degree.
Some insurers will required you to have professional insurance certified such as ACII (Advanced Diploma in Insurance by CII) which I am now pursuing.
While it's true that Lloyds pay well then some other insurers. There are some insurers, even the local one that is paying better than Catlin or even the bigger names like Zurich. It's also quite common nowadays that most insurers pay on 12 months basis. My current and last companies pays on such basis.

Hi,
I am thinking of making a mid career switch to pursue a career in underwriting or claims.
Any seniors can share a realistic picture of how the employment scene is, the career prospects and the daily challenges to expect?
