I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Buck
Interview
Initial phone interview followed by 3 virtual interviews with 2 people each (usually someone more senior who is a director/manager and a Senior Associate who you might be working with or interacting with someone in a similar position more regularly). There are other associates to help talk to you through more general questions and about the process when you interview with other candidates.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What are your greatest strengths and weaknesses? Tell me a time you’ve handled a stressful situation. Could you tell me about a difficult project where you’ve had to overcome a challenge and what steps you’ve taken to overcome that challenge? How do you stay organized or study habits when taking exams? Light brain teaser question to show thought process.
I applied online. I interviewed at Buck (Secaucus, NJ) in Oct 2020
Interview
It was a fairly straightforward process. The interview consisted of three rounds of two in person interviews. I had to go in office but im sure that you could push for a remote interview if necessary. The position also seemed like it could be completely remote.

Question 1
Can you tell me the difference between a defined benefit plan and a defined contribution plan?
