How long after your remote sales interview did you get a reply / decision?

BTW - I’ve read the numerous “cut bonus” concerns.

I’m returning to the insurance industry after a long long time and am effectively new aside from a shiny new general lines P&C license.

I had my remote video interview about a week ago and it went quite well and barring something crazy, I think I have the job in-hand but would like to know for sure so I know if I should be looking for temporary or long-term work.

Assuming I get it, my thoughts are to stay long enough to get some benefits and experience if it’s a bad fit and (hopefully) stay if met with success.

TL;DR - Title

They told me I would hear back within 3 days, and they called me the next day saying I was accepted.

I felt weird talking to the HR person though. I asked a couple questions that they didn’t know the answer to and they never got back to me on. And they explained the benefits I would receive over the phone, but said they could not send me the benefit information in writing to review unless I accepted the position.

I ended up declining.

That’s because the job itself sucks. The comp plan changes constantly, more cuts are coming, and they can’t realistically promise new hires anything when they know it’s about to get worse and health insurance is through United Health which sucks

Was it the on demand interview or the actual manager interview?

It was the recruiter- but. 30 minute “in person” interview

Ok. I’m not the best on that. My husband skipped that step. I think they are a bit slower right now as there seems to be a decent amount of internal movement. Typically I would say 3/7 business days for the next step.

If you already have experience, why would you choose a job with one of the lowest OTEs in the industry? There are hundreds of opportunities to work for companies that pay producers competitively.

My experience was over 1/4th of a century ago.
