The interview process was good, but the role I ended up in wasn't what I applied for. It felt like the hiring manager didn't quite grasp the position the company was looking for, so I ended up doing something different while I was there.

First I got a call and did a phone interview, then they invited me for an in-person interview at the company office. The interviewers were super friendly, made me feel comfortable, and really wanted to know more about me as a candidate. They asked about my work history, my education, and what I'm good at, as well as where I could improve.

Behavioral Technical Case

Over three days, I spoke with three levels of management, starting with the branch manager for the specific location, followed by two people in the private banking hierarchy. They explained that the Private Banking role is essentially a sales position focused on acquiring new clients, with a required quota that would increase with my experience. I'd initially be given a few clients, but my primary responsibility would be to engage with the community and find new ones.

It was a professional and well-run interview process with great questions. It was more laid-back, as they wanted to get to know me as a person, not just a job filler. I spent about 90 minutes with the interviewer, who was the co-owner of all 8 locations. He was a great interviewer, very open about the company, candid, and more concerned with company fit and future potential than actual experience.
