I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Equitable Advisors (Tampa, FL) in Jan 2022
Interview
The process was very laid back, but still professional. First first few minutes were just questions about my personality and education. Then it got into the details about what makes their company different than others and what it takes to be a good advisor. Overall, if you are honest and knowledgeable, then the process should go smoothly.

Question 1
What made you decide you wanted to be a financial advisor?
I interviewed at Equitable Advisors (New York, NY)
Interview
Quick process, show you're hungry and they'll give you a shot. Had one zoom, one in person meeting, and then a compensation breakdown. Nothing guaranteed, up to you to make money. Good for someone self motivated and will bet on themselves.

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.
