Can an agent register with multiple brokers?

[Timothy Lewis]

Greeting, everyone. I want to get my license to gain additional education as well as the other benefits for personal investing in residential properties. My only concern is that I may soon have a job with a commercial real estate firm, and a firm I worked with in the past required agents register their licenses with one of the firm's brokers of record. Will there be a conflict if I want to have my license for residential use if my job requires me to register with its commercial broker? Can my license be associated with one broker for residential and another for commercial? Just want to avoid a sticky situation. Ideally, the work for the commercial firm will not be brokerage. If it makes any difference, I live in a Washington, DC,where most real estate agents tend to focus on either residential or commercial properties.
