I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Equitable Advisors (Morristown, NJ) in Dec 2023
Interview
Engaged on LinkedIn by the team leader. Initially several conversations through DM on LinkedIn followed by an in person meeting which led to several in person meetings at the branch. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming. I was certainly very skeptical transitioning from a salaried position to a role that basically meant you eat what you kill.

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.
