When is the earliest you’d recommend looking for an agency job in LA? I’ve been looking to move from client side to agency for over a year (and have my book built out), but my current role isn’t terrible and will likely be stable through COVID. Should I be applying (or freelancing?) now or wait it out in my current role?

If you can find a job at an LA agency right now, you’re probably not susceptible to layoffs due to the agency actually having there ability to hire someone.

I am a registered sales assistant which means I have my series 7. I also have the 63 and my Life & Health license. I was a financial advisor but the role is commission only so I decided to take a role as an assistant for some time to learn etc. I really like my role, but I only make 32k a year and after taxes I only take home about 25k. I have a gut feeling that I’m not being paid market value but it’s tough to find comparable salaries. Do you think $15.38/hr is a fair wage in this case?

Is this legal?
My partner and I are moving out of our condo building in NYC at month end, and the building management (not our landlord) has communicated to us that, on top of the 1K non-refundable fee and 1K security deposit to move out (stated in lease), they are also issuing a $1,250 "sanitization fee" for the public areas (hallways/elevators), since we happen to be moving out during COVID19. We feel this is taking advantage of tenants during this time and may not be legal. Any advice helps!
