I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (Saint Petersburg, FL) in Jan 2026
Interview
Very hands on and less formal of an interview. Not a ton of pressure and the recruiter I had was amazing. Interview is meant to get to know you, how much risk you can handle, and what your passions are.

Question 1
A time I've had to overcome an obstacle and persevere.
There were four or five interviews, if you count the meeting with my future mentor. There were also a few personality assessments. Lots of paperwork. The finance industry is tightly regulated.
The first interview was easygoing and went fairly well. We talked a little on myself and what northwestern was all about. Because they wanted to see how I could fit in to their team and what I would bring.

Interview
The process was smooth and straight forward. A lot of behavioral based questions, but relaxed and low stress. First phase is a phone screening followed by a teams or in person meeting.
