Randi Glazer’s new book is a must-read for anyone contemplating a career in the underwriting industry. As an underwriter, Randi Glazer evaluated applications, determined the risk to the company and set customer’s premiums. It was a job that was constantly at odds with the sales department; therefore, her book has some interesting anecdotes.

Her book is also a good read for anyone who wants a glimpse into the inter-office conflict that is prevalent in industries where one department’s goal conflicts with another department’s goal. Randi Glazer’s experience as a female career professional is also highly informative; there are many aspects of a career, such as office politics and fitting into an organization’s culture that are not taught in college.
