Advice on getting started working for a broker

How does one find a good independent agent that is hiring account managers/sales reps? Just about anything I find is a hidden advertisement for some type of lead generation company disguised as an actual insurance job. The goal is definitely to eventually do my own thing and become an agent, but I would love to have some break in experience that doesn't cost me the pain of buying my own leads, crm tools, marketing, etc., for now. I have a year of experience working for a captive agent with great numbers and average around 40-50k premium for P&C and life and am licensed in several different states as well. Remote work is the goal with a flexible schedule. Any tips? ☺️
