Question 1
How would your personal experiences allow you to succeed in this field?
Seemed predatory, commission only based salary despite having a salary in the position description (or they were seemingly very opposed to paying salary). I also ghosted them initially after seeing reviews and they messaged me again so I went to interview for practice
I interviewed at Equitable (San Francisco, CA) in May 2023
Interview
4 rounds, 2 in person. The first 2 were very casual the second two were more pointed and with higher ups at the company. There was only one in person meeting with more than one interviewer
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Equitable (Brick, NJ) in Nov 2022

The interview process was easy and talked you through whole process. Initial was a phone interview then you talk to the regional manager, then go from there. Overall satisfied with the process.
