Hello!

I've read a lot of threads about this company and would like more insight from those in this industry. A lot of posts I saw were older and I understand how the job market has changed in recent years.

Context: I have my 3rd interview with NYL coming up and I am going into this as someone not in the financial/insurance field. I have a technical background and I'm senior level in my field.

Unfortunately, I was laid off last year and the job market is terrible. I have done sales before and I excel at management. I enjoy talking to people and learning new things.

I get good vibes from the company and I really like the manager. It would be nice getting to help people. However, I am concerned about the compensation, the day-to-day and work/life balance.

Questions:

1. If you work or have worked there, did you enjoy it?

2. As financial professionals, do you believe it is wise for someone outside the field to pivot into? Why or why not? (I have no context on how important licenses are in this field either)

3. Is it common to make that 6 figure mark or is that unrealistic/not reality for most?

Any insight or information you have for someone not in this field would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
