I was recently laid off and have been considering a career change. I'm 46 and have been in software testing/QA for 20+ years with a BSEE degree. I'm getting burned out on doing the same thing for so long and a friend of a friend was telling me about his job as an Insurance Risk Engineer. It sounds interesting, basically assessing risk of a commercial business for coverage. I think it would be a good fit coming from software QA/Testing where I look for vulnerabilities in code. Does anyone have any insight into the job field? I'm not sure if it's just a fancy name for insurance salesman or if it's more technical then that.
