The vice exec found my resume online and called me to come in for an initial "group interview", which was actually a presentation. The presentation was literally 1.5 hour nonstop talking in monotone about the company, the position and the hiring process. I looked around the room noticing the different demographics but about half of us were spacing out. I gained a lot of new insight about the financial industry, especially since I never considered it before. A week after the presentation, the vice exec called me to schedule an 1:1 interview. This, I prepared very well for. I arrived 15 mins early, ended up waiting 40 minutes for the vice exec to return from meeting his client outside. When he came back, we sat down, and without asking me any questions, he began ASSESSING my strengths and weaknesses from reading my application and resume. He did not ask one single question. Within 10 minutes he said I had no competency; my only value is that I can speak Chinese; and my previous experiences are useless. I left this interview VERY intimidated. I could not believe how a globally known company can look down at someone who has vast international experience; probably even more than that vice exec! I was invited for a second interview, this time with the exec participating. By then I already didn't want the job, but I wanted to show them what they're missing out on. Again, I was forced to wait 40 minutes. And when the vice exec came to get me, he realized all the conference rooms were taken. So we had to squeeze into his little office space. The exec ended up not coming. The interview was again, not an "interview". The vice exec pretty much repeated everything he said in the first 1:1 interview (meaning he forgot everything from before). After explaining that I have to pay $900 to cover the training and exam fees for the first three months, his only question was "What do you think?". At this point I was utterly confused. Does this mean I am offered the job or what? I was tired of this whole thing going nowhere, and so I explained that my knowledge and experiences are better off elsewhere.

Quick process, show you're hungry and they'll give you a shot. Had one zoom, one in person meeting, and then a compensation breakdown. Nothing guaranteed, up to you to make money. Good for someone self motivated and will bet on themselves.
