I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at UBS (Columbus, OH) in Sept 2013
Interview
Referral to a complex manager. Brief call with manager to explain multiple teams had my resume and would contact me that week. Had phone interviews with three teams, and was requested for an in person interview with each team. Received three offers and reviewed options with manager and made my selection one week later.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
How will you build a book of business in a new city, state, region?
-baseline acumen and ability to run a book, typical interview process, was very pleased.
-most of it was more qualitative and both parties “selling” themselves to one another (FA skill set, team etc. vs UBS scale, tools, internal support teams).
The interview was a series of phone calls with a few different advisors and managers as well as the team that I was potentially going to be hired and joining.
