Northwestern Mutual Financial Analyst interview experience

The way it was explained leaned heavily toward making the opportunity sound extremely achievable.

What bothered me slightly was that they didn’t emphasize the amount of investing required in the first year—especially the first six months—until much later, so the initial impression felt a little too optimistic. I didn’t receive an offer, and honestly the gap between how reachable it was made to sound and how much ramp-up effort it would likely take stayed with me.
