Ready to build something of your own — with unlimited income potential and the backing of a Fortune 100 company?

New York Life is seeking motivated, entrepreneurial individuals who are ready to take ownership of their future as a Financial Advisor in the Salt Lake City market. This is not a traditional 9–5 position. We are looking for disciplined, coachable professionals who want to build a long-term career helping individuals and families achieve financial security.

If you are driven, relationship-focused, and excited by the opportunity to grow your own business, this could be the career path for you.

What This Career Looks Like

As a Financial Advisor with New York Life, you will:

  • Build and grow your own client base
  • Develop long-term relationships with individuals, families, and business owners
  • Help clients create strategies around retirement, protection, wealth accumulation, and financial goals
  • Prospect through networking, referrals, community involvement, and relationship building
  • Conduct financial reviews and provide customized recommendations
  • Operate with integrity, professionalism, and a service-first mindset
  • Continuously grow personally and professionally through training and mentorship

This opportunity offers freedom, flexibility, and the ability to create your own schedule while still participating in important team meetings, training, and development opportunities.

Compensation

100% Commission-Based Opportunity

This is a performance-driven career with uncapped earning potential.

  • Average first-year Financial Advisors earn approximately $112,000
  • Top performers can significantly exceed that through consistent activity and relationship building
  • Residual and renewal income opportunities available
  • Bonuses, incentives, and recognition programs offered throughout the year

This role is best suited for individuals who are motivated by growth, ownership, and results.

Who Succeeds Here

The strongest candidates typically demonstrate:

  • Self-discipline and accountability
  • A strong work ethic without needing constant supervision
  • Resilience and consistency
  • Entrepreneurial thinking
  • Confidence in building relationships and asking for business
  • Comfort with performance-based compensation
  • A growth mindset and willingness to implement feedback quickly
  • Professional communication skills
  • A desire to help people and create meaningful impact

We are looking for individuals who treat this like their own business, not just another job.

  • Sales
  • Business development
