      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at New York Life

      Interview

      The entire hiring process took about three weeks and involved five rounds: an initial telephonic screening, an HR round, a one-hour technical interview, a discussion with the Managing Partner, and finally, a follow-up interview with the Hiring Manager

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Most of the questions will be behavioral, focusing on why I want to join the firm, what specifically interests me about the role, and whether I understand the responsibilities of the job. They may also ask situational questions, such as describing a time I managed risk or demonstrating how I handle time management and prioritization.
