I applied through university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Equitable Advisors (Los Angeles, CA) in Jan 2015
Interview
First round is over the phone. Second Round: they give you a presentation ahead of time and you prepare it as if you were to present it to a client. After you've given your presentation, they will repeat it 100x better and then give you a couple minutes to prepare before they ask you to deliver it again with changes. Third round: meet more of the team/discuss logistics
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How did you think you did in the presentation? How would you have done it differently?
You do an introductory call, then an in-person meeting, and finally a business plan presentation. This take place over a couple weeks and as long as you are confident and somewhat professional and are up for what the role requires, you will get through the interview process.
The first interview was a prelim phone call with the talent recruiter and then a second call with the Regional Vice President. I was then notified by email that I would not continue with the interview process
I applied through other source. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Equitable Advisors (Philadelphia, PA) in Dec 2024
Interview
2 phone call interviews then an in-person in the office with 2-3 employees in management. The phone calls are more informative with a lot of time for you to ask questions.
