I applied for the Banking Advisor position and got called in. The manager asked me to show my ID and give my DOB for a sales test. I didn't get an offer after a few rounds and I'm not sure if my age was a factor. I think asking for age is usually not allowed unless it's to check if you're 18+.

Submitted my application, then got a call to schedule a phone interview. Had the phone interview, then a video interview on Microsoft Teams. After that, I received an email saying my profile was not accepted. I emailed the recruiter to understand why I wasn't selected. The recruiter then emailed back asking for a phone call to explain. I replied accepting the call. We had the call, and that's been the end of the exchanges so far.
