Question 1
Can you provide an example of how you influenced a decision?
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Charles Schwab (Westlake, TX) in Feb 2025
Interview
There was an initial phone screening conducted by Talent Acquisition. Straight forward with some behavioral questions. Video interview with hiring manager. Good discussion. In-person interview with hiring manager and would-be peer. Questions for the in-person were not easy, but just because they were not really well formed and lacked a lot of context to answer. I have to think they were looking for how I deal with ambiguity. I also think that while I was answering a question for one interviewee (facing him while talking), I glanced back over at the other guy and I'm 99.9% sure he was trying to take a stealth picture or video of me. I thought that was just weird, and did creep me out a little.

Essentially, how do you deal with instances where you need to influence without authority?
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Charles Schwab (Denver, CO) in Nov 2022
Interview
Interview process is quite lengthy with more panels scheduled than necessary. Questions were behavioral in nature and somewhat repetitive from one interview to the next. Everyone was friendly and seemed genuinely helpful.
