I applied in-person. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at New York Life (Latham, NY)
Interview
Personable. The process was more about examining my character and priorities than skill set or education/experience. Informative- was introduced to a happy close-knit group currently employed and then a casual conversation about family, savings/spending practices, goals and expectations. I had huge concerns about the commission click down, and rightfully so, as I learned quickly to keep up the pace and follow the track set forth.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How do you feel about salespeople? What has been your financial experience thus far in life -good, bad the ugly? How will you balance a start up business and family time?
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at New York Life (Irvine, CA) in Mar 2024
Interview
Long process. Be prepared to be uncovered wide-open. Extensive back ground check. They claim to pay a salary, but the allowance is more like a drawl.
The allowance is equivelant to slightly above mimimun wage. You would need a part-time job to survive or another side-hustle.

Question 1
They asked about my work experience and my income goals.
Casual, responsive, and fairly easy. A lot of the interview process is learning about the company. The questions are straightforward and focus on attitude and experience. Overall, you will be assigned a manager to interview you and test your relationship-building skills and team skills.
