I interviewed at Raymond James Financial (Chicago, IL)
Interview
First round was with HR, second with the COO of ER, third with the senior analyst and two associates. A couple technicals in second round and stock pitch, more behavioral / fit seeking process overall.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Raymond James Financial (Tampa, FL) in Sept 2025
Interview
Flew out 12 candidates to give 2-3 offers. Treated us well but rubbed me the wrong way. Questions were entirely behavioral and vibes-based. Only had one technical question and one stock pitch.
The interview was relatively chill; I had networked with a couple of associates beforehand, and they were the ones who interviewed me in the process. First round was HR, second was associates, while third round was the head of research
