Underwriter Jobs in Georgia: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become an underwriter in Georgia?
The path depends on the line of business. Insurance underwriters in Georgia who make binding coverage decisions typically need a Georgia Department of Insurance license, either property and casualty or life and health, obtained through the Commissioner of Insurance by passing the relevant state exam. Mortgage underwriters follow federal guidelines rather than a state license. Most employers expect a bachelor's degree in finance, business, or economics, and many new hires begin in underwriting assistant or analyst roles before advancing.
How much do underwriters make in Georgia?
Underwriters in Georgia earn a median of about $85,980 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $61,160 for the lowest 10% to over $165,910 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.

Mortgage and commercial lines underwriting tend to have the highest proportion of fully remote postings.

The most realistic entry point is an underwriting assistant or analyst role, which large Georgia-based carriers and lenders post regularly to build junior pipelines.

Completing the Georgia Department of Insurance licensing exam before applying signals commitment and gives candidates a concrete edge.
