I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Equitable Advisors (New York, NY) in Nov 2025
Interview
A recruiter reached out to me on LinkedIn for a “chat” but started interviewing me. The role is titled financial advisor but that’s false in my opinion. I don’t know any financial advisor salary that is commission based. That’s sales. Then they scheduled another round interview without asking me for my availability. Weird

Question 1
Behavioral questions like “are you a go-getter”. Basic questions like “what are your career goals”

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

The interview process was quick and simple. The major hurdle is passing your exams post Interview. You have a total of three exams. None are individual difficult but can be a challenge if you tackle it unprepared .
