              Interview

              Drawn out process that lasted around 5-7 weeks. Limited communication until final round. No offer extended but references given. Nice interviewer who genuinely seemed to enjoy their job and paid attention to details.

                    I applied through other source. The process took 1 day.I interviewed at Equitable Advisors (Austin, TX) in 01/02/2024

                    Interview

                    I reached out on LinkedIn about applying and when I went to the interview they told me it was 3 parts. I only made it past the first round. They are looking for people to go around Austin Schools to help the faculty. This was not expressed anywhere before applying. I was told you will work hard and make less money but the more time you work you work less and get more money.

                    Question 1

                    How do you want this career to help you grow? (I was told that they pretty much want you to start your own financial firm)

                      Good afternoon I have an interview with the hiring manager at Elevance health. I've done some research into the role and company and believe I have some good questions to ask back. What are some other general questions or industry specific questions any of you would ask? Thanks in advance!
