I'm curious what the average salary is for an Associate Agent. I'm licensed & do everything after the sale is made as well as refer new business. I have 14 years in the industry but have been at the current company less than a year, so I know that plays a part as well. Anyone in a like-position by chance?State Farm Allstate Travelers

I talk to my colleagues and friends.
My advice would be to grin & bear it until you find a more suitable role unless you can afford to be out of work for several months. I resigned my insurance role in July 2025 to care for a terminally ill relative who passed in October, FMLA was not available since it was not an immediate family member. I am P&C licensed in 49 states and Life & Health in 40 states and since October I have applied for close to 50 positions, received a few interviews but no offer, The only options were low wage evening, weekend and holiday roles that I declined. I think my gap in employment and age are the main factors. I have revised my resume even listing my gap of employment as being self employed. I do believe its based more on if they like you instead of your skills. I previously worked in a toxic office where nepotism was rampant and I found that after being employed 8 years with the company new hires were coming in at the same rate I was getting after 8 years. I was a fool for investing that much of my life but I needed the income.
