Christy's Questions:

If there's an event like a hurricane, and 50 IA firms are calling / emailing… what do I do? Are the IA firms that I turn down going to be mad and take me off their roster?

As a new IA should I go ahead and take an hourly position during an event?

New IAs agreeing to lower pay seems like a huge point of contention with the seasoned IAs. Doesn't it wind up drag down everyone’s pay?

If I am working daily claims, and a storm hits, how do I shut off new claims and tell the IA firm I've been running dailies for “sorry gotta go!” Will they ever give me dailies again?

How do I know which IA firm to focus on? They all talk a good game… how does a new IA avoid the pitfalls and traps of dealing with shady IA firms?  

Considering all of a CAT Field IA’s daily expenses while on site, does a remote adjuster end up making (and keeping) just as much income as a Field IA?

Would it be a smart move as a new IA, to forget about Field at the very beginning and focus on Desk? It seems to me a new IA could learn a hell of a lot of X1 experience by looking over other Field X1 work and learn what both a good file looks like and a bad file looks like, then take that info out in the Field in 6-8 months.

Was it a waste of time for me to get certification after certification after certification? Do IA firms really even look at any of that?

As a brand spanking new IA, with so many other things to learn, would it make sense for me to put in the time, take the NFIP classes, and get my NFIP Mentorship going now?
