I applied through university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Equitable Advisors
Interview
One of the more bizarre interviews I've been a part of. I answered one or two questions about who I was and (maybe?) an experience I had working with clients. The interview then became a pitch for working at AXA. To make a long story short: expected to commute to New York for your first year and receive essentially no pay, take your Series 7, then work either with a meager base salary + bonus or commission from sales + bonus. When you're essentially being pleaded with to take a job, it's not a good look. I declined a follow-up interview.
I applied online. I interviewed at Equitable Advisors
Interview
Online video interview that was vague on job duties. Interview length was fast and convincing I was a good fit but there was no follow up. Company will ghost you.

They asked if I had experience with financial services.
I interviewed at Equitable Advisors (Falls Church, VA)
Interview
2 rounds of phone interviews and then 1 interview in office where you make a presentation about prospecting for clients once you would have the role. Phone calls were behavioral while the in office was more about your plan to succeed
I interviewed at Equitable Advisors (New York, NY)
Interview
3-4 one on one with manager. Very casual and more of a convo. Almost zero questions that were relevant to cold calling even tho that’s the whole job. Had to tell jokes
