Just passed my salesperson's exam, how to find the right broker?

[Saami Siddiqui]

I just passed my California's real estate salesperson exam and now want to find the right broker to work with. My main motivation for getting a real estate license is to be able to write my own offers when I am buying/investing in my own places, helping friends and family with their real estate needs, and having access to the MLS. I also wish to work part time as a realtor and further explore this space as a full time career.
Any advice, tips, or referrals (I currently live in the Bay Area, and have been a Fremont resident for about 20 years).
