description	The objective of this study is focused on the permanent employees’ career success in Pakistan insurance sector. In Pakistan, insurance sector is the most neglected sector for permanent employees to as a career path due to the lack of skill development, promotions and job security.

On the other side, promotional opportunity and job security are positively significant with career success, whereas, rewards and training are not supported with career success.
