Working at two different brokerages as an agent?

[Joseph Testa]

I have a bit of a trick question and want to see if anyone on here might have the answer. I am a 21 year old real estate agent out of Boston, MA.

I began work a brokerage about six months back, but have recently been searching for work as an assistant under a more experienced agent in order to learn the ins and outs of the business. 

I know you can't work for two brokers at once, but is it acceptable for me to be an assistant to an agent at another brokerage other than my own?

Yup @Russell Brazil, I’m positive. Look at Business Occupations and Professions, Section 17-313 which I’ve copied below.  

“A licensed real estate salesperson may obtain an additional real estate salesperson license and become affiliated with an additional licensed real estate broker as a real estate salesperson, if the salesperson:

(1) obtains, from an additional licensed real estate broker, a commitment providing that the salesperson shall become affiliated with the broker as a real estate salesperson on the granting of an additional real estate salesperson license to the salesperson;

(2) gives each real estate broker with whom the salesperson currently is affiliated written notice that the salesperson intends to affiliate with an additional real estate broker; and

(3) complies with the application procedures under subsection (j) of this section.”
