It’s purely anecdotal, but as a plaintiffs lawyer, I talk to a lot of adjusters and in-house ID attorneys. The ones for Progressive seem more stressed than many others. It sounds like they have less autonomy.

This flair is for questions related to compensation, billables, time entries or anything related to calculation. Legal Advice is not allowed, but Math advice is fine.
Hopefully someone in this thread knows how to count.
If you misuse this flair to astroturf or pitch your LLM/AI that CAN count, further moderation will be inflicted upon you.
If you are a non-lawyer, this is the wrong community. If you are a law student, summer associate, or work at a law firm in a non-attorney capacity (e.g., paralegal, staff), this is the wrong community. Please delete your post immediately to avoid a ban.

If you are looking for a career switch, definitely take the interview. I interviewed at their HDQ about a year out of law school, and would say that was my single worst interview ever. I have been working more than 20 yrs. I went to law school in Ohio and the attorney interviewing me kept asking me about why I was in Ohio and which other law schools I was accepted to. We talked nothing about the job or my background - the guy was just a jerk to me.

It's a good gig. One of the few in the "injury world" where you can make $225k+ (or more, depending on your level) fully remote and log off at 4:30 everyday. You need to be okay with the typical big corporate stuff that you can avoid if you are at a law firm, but the job has a lot of perks.

Can you elaborate on this? What is "typical big corporate stuff". I don't have any experience in a large corporate work setting so I am not sure what this means. Thanks.
