Switching industries is a leap of faith—but in insurance, it’s a leap into endless possibilities. Discover the journey firsthand !
Switching from engineering to insurance was a big decision. I had always wanted to try something new, and I saw insurance as an industry that is very important to the global economy and society. In addition, I thought that it would be a great way to develop my career. I spent almost seven years working as a structural engineer, and I was a little worried about changing careers. It felt like a step into the unknown, and I wasn't sure how I was going to make the change. Luckily, Sandra got in touch and told me about the opportunities in insurance. Her support and guidance helped me a lot and made the process much easier. I think that my engineering background has given me a strong foundation in technical concepts, which will be very useful in understanding insurance policies, especially in property and construction. The insurance industry offers me an environment where I can continue to grow and develop while using my previous expertise in new and exciting ways. If you're considering a career change, I can confidently say that the skills you've developed in any industry can be used and thrive in the world of insurance. It's all about making the right connections and being open to new opportunities. Thank you, Sandra, for your invaluable support throughout this process. I’m excited to begin my new role in March!
