I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at SEC (Washington, DC) in May 2024
Interview
Cycled around four interviewers about behaviorals, including "walk me through your resume" or "what's something in the news that recently interested you." There were multiple candidates in the Zoom and we would wait in our breakout rooms for interviewers to come to us.
