Is moving job worth the effort? Won’t I have to start from square one, and prove myself all over again? No you won’t. You’re a senior woman in insurance. You have a shedload of experience. You are supremely capable. You’ve got a great reputation. That’s why people want you in their organisation. That’s why the recruiter is reaching out to you. You have ALREADY proved yourself.
