I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at New York Life (New Windsor, NY) in Dec 2015
Interview
Managers earn commission from the success of their team, so there's basically 100% chance to get the first interview. It is a three step interview process. Part of the process is to ask 10 strangers about their experiences with financial services. Bring a resume, I did not include a cover letter and that was fine. Wear a suit. Be prepared to take an online personality test.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How do you feel about having a career that is primarily commission based?
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at New York Life (Jacksonville, FL) in May 2026
Interview
Did a phone interview, vague on offering to try and get you in the door for a F2F. Skeptical towards moving forward due to lack of upfront information and information found online for the fast track to management position.
Super easy interview process that focuses more on you asking questions rather than getting interviewed. If you want this job make sure you spend time asking questions about the company and learning more about the role. Also just realize.

Initial meeting is to understand the prospective hire and meet the recruiting team and other principals. Second meeting is with CEO to get a marketing study completed along with some company history.
