I just wonder what I would do after retirement, I don't want to be sitting at home. Would Insurance Adjustor be a good career? After getting basic certification got to work for other people? Can freelance by self? Good money or not? |

QUOTE(hallojohnnycash @ Jan 20 2025, 05:01 PM) Insurance company don't/won't engage individual to do adjusting job. Its B2B arrangement. adjustor have to face clients?Freelance...subject to adjusting firm. Usually, it is for those experienced retired person for niche expertise i.e marine hull etc. Good career? Good money? [B] Just another salaried job. The margin for adjusting firm is thin. Those big firms depends on volume for their operating expenses. Not all cases require adjusting. The loss amount needs to cross certain threshold before insurance company assign the case to adjuster. For motor claims, if its panel workshop and within limit, approval is via system. For after retirement?> Unless you like to write report, kena tendang report, dispute report, face hostile clients...all part of the works. + dead lines. like for Motor, they just go to bengkel and do adjustor work, no need to see the owner of the car. ok bummer, I thought adjustors can go freelance. Big firms as in Marsh & Mclennon? |

QUOTE(hallojohnnycash @ Jan 20 2025, 05:27 PM) Marsh is broking firm. Not adjuster in MY. so this career no chance for retirees to do freelance?Big firms i.e Mclarens, Crawford, MSM, Mestari etc. Usual case don't need to face client. Motor case, rarely. Complicated cases / huge losses subject to claims dept's discretion aka passing the ball. For instance, factory fire loss which may includes consequential loss claims etc. |

QUOTE(Chanwsan @ Jan 20 2025, 06:08 PM) From your replies you don't even seem to know what loss adjuster does, and I am going to assume you don't even have the relevant loss adjusting certification and experience. of course, I don't know in detail what they do.So no I know roughly what an adjustor does. Motor adjustor: your car accident, you make polis report, send to bengkel and they help you compile insurance, then adjustor come and check how much your insurance claim can be entitled, then the claim get sent to insurance co to access. Insurance co accept and reject, but bengkel still want to fight, resubmit, back and forth. Macam ni lah. This post has been edited by hoonanoo: Jan 20 2025, 06:17 PM |
