Do not attempt working at New York Life unless you have [several] hundreds of contacts who can comprise your initial 'natural market.' This denominator will 100% determine your success. The fewer contacts you have to reach out to for new business, the more likely you will fail. Don't believe everything they say, especially is they are overly excited or effusive about hiring you. It may not reflect reality.

I have been talking to a recruiter for a little over a month about a position. I let her know out the gate that I really wasn’t looking to change jobs, but she just kept wanting to continuing the conversation. I didn’t have 2 interviews with the hiring coming and they know that I am not really looking to make a switch. They are now working on an offer letter and I know they’re going to offer me more money. I’m having my annual review this week. Any advice on how to handle a) job offer b) review?
