Insurance companies ... a pox on them! Most of them are at major risk because of the unstable climate/weather patterns. Tho many might have "mutual" in their names or origin stories, there's nothing mutual about them at all. I once worked at Prudential, and they were grooming a bright, thoughtful person like myself for Big Things there.
All I had to do was pass a measly 10 courses and earn an industry certificate (Certified Life Underwriter). During the studies for the first test I had a chronic stomach ache. As I was also studying NLP at the time, I asked it was it saying. I sensed back: don't do it! Stop. Get out of here! This is not your tribe.
So I bargained. Let me finish this 1 test, I won't take more, and I'll resign. The ache left, I passed and got reimbursed. Wrote a resignation one sunny afternoon sitting on my fire escape. Held it for 6 months while the rest of me caught up. Dropped the lefter.
Once my former boss called and wondered how I was doing. He had hoped I'd gotten some young woman with child and needed to support a family (and return to The Rock). Nada. Too shy, don't want, contraceptives work.
I was gone & I never looked back, R.
