I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Vanguard
Interview
Job Fair at University, after initial conversation was invited for an interview. Started with behavioral questions and career interests, at the end an assessment was given to assess financial knowledge.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Vanguard (Phoenix, AZ) in Sep 2023
Interview
One phone interview with behavioral and technical questions. Technical questions were specifically about vanguard and their portfolio. The interview was not very personable and the technical questions were hard in my experience.
Smooth process, reasonably friendly throughout. Didn't really stress too much about it. Very big on culture and making sure you are the right fit for the firm. I would recommend speaking to current crew beforehand.
