I applied in-person. The process took 6 days. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (Denver, CO) in Mar 2025
Interview
Simple, straightforward, informal. Talked about my goals and why I'd want to pursue a career in financial advising. Clearly stating your intentions gets you in places where you belong. Interviewed with managing director, great guy, was transparent about what being in this role looks like
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.
