How It Works

Phase 1: Build Experience as a Financial Professional

In your first year, you’ll gain hands-on experience as a financial professional—building client relationships, growing your business, and developing a strong foundation in financial services. We’ll equip you with comprehensive training, digital tools, and access to a broad suite of products and solutions.

Training & Resources

You will receive industry-leading training designed to help you build the skills and knowledge needed to grow in the role. In addition to ongoing coaching and mentorship, you will have access to experienced professionals, proven best practices, and digital sales, prospecting, and marketing tools to help you attract and retain clients across web, social, and email channels.

Gain experience delivering a broad portfolio of insurance and financial solutions designed to help clients achieve their financial goals. Together with its subsidiaries, New York Life offers life insurance, annuities, long-term care insurance, disability income insurance, and investment products such as mutual funds.

Phase 2: Transition to Associate Partner

After meeting specific performance requirements during the first 12 months as a financial professional, you will enter a specialized six-month Associate Partner training program focused on leadership, recruiting, and team development.

As an Associate Partner, you will learn how to recruit, coach, and develop a team of financial professionals while continuing to strengthen your leadership capabilities. Throughout your career with New York Life, opportunities for advancement into increasingly senior management roles will continue to grow.

In addition to your base salary, you will be eligible for certain bonuses and other incentives based on the performance of agents in your unit, including additional compensation related to the agents you recruit and develop (“R&Ds”). R&Ds are additional compensation that is designed to increase your income and to reimburse for any reasonable and necessary expenses the Company does not otherwise reimburse.
