Referred by a friend. Received a phone screen and was invited for an in-person interview. In person interview was basic background, career goals, sales experience, etc. I received a second interview that was much more in-depth and lasted for more than 2 hours. Second interview was more questions, a review of a personality test, and a meeting with the managing director. I was invited for a third interview, but declined the offer once I realized I would have to have 200 plus contacts immediately (mostly friends & family) to sell insurance and investment products too.

There were four or five interviews, if you count the meeting with my future mentor. There were also a few personality assessments. Lots of paperwork. The finance industry is tightly regulated.
