I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at TIAA (Lewisville, TX) in Mar 2015
Interview
I was contacted on LinkedIn and asked if I would be interested in interviewing for the position. After a phone interview with the LinkedIn recruiter, my resume was forwarded to an on-site recruiter. I did not hear from that recruiter until 2 weeks later. After setting up a time to speak with her in more detail, I never received a call. Two weeks later, I got a message from a recruiter asking if I would be interested in the position. After explaining that I had already been through that process, I was asked to fill out an online application and paperwork for a background check and an on-site interview was scheduled. The interview itself wasn't bad. I felt that I did a great job answering the (behavioral) questions. Today marks three weeks since my interview, and I haven't heard a word back from the company (even after emailing my recruiter a week ago to follow-up).

I applied online. I interviewed at TIAA (Frisco, TX) in Mar 2026
Interview
The phone interview went well and the assessment was straightforward even though they moved on to another candidate I did not get a chance for an in person interview. I learned a lot but have to wait a year to reapply for the same role but afterwards, I got a link for how to get certified with SIE I picked the non experienced required role so I would be trained for 19 weeks (5 months) 4 days in and one day at home. Then after training it would be 3 days in and 2 days at home so the set up seemed promising.
