If you had to pick one product line to stick with for the next 5-10 years what’s more advantageous? I currently have two offers to be an UW trainee in these lines. The market is soft for both currently, but certainly won’t be forever. Cyber seems to have more opportunity for growth/upward mobility than D&O which is more niche.

If I can’t go wrong with either, that’d be good to know as well! Looking to specialize in one of the two down the road. The cyber UW role is cyber only so no Tech/E&O with that one.

I’m about come up on a year as a SME cyber UW out of college. It’s been a good learning experience but I don’t like being mono-line coverage and want to learn more technical underwriting skills gained at middle market and national account levels.

Seems like it’ll be difficult to interview for those positions down the road since my experience is currently pretty stymied with small business. Anyone have experience making that transition from SME to middle market?
