      Application

      I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Merrill (Waco, TX)

      Interview

      3 video calls. You talk to people on both the Bank of America and Merril side. Also have to create a business plan that you discuss in the call. Calls generally flow like a conversation.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Ask you to create your Business plan on how to Build your own Book of Business. Sounds like they are only accepting people well connected with high networth clients.
