I was contacted through LinkedIn directly by the guy/financial advisor who was looking for an assistant. Therefore, I bypassed the standard talent recruitment phone screening interview, but had to speak to the FA on the phone for 15 minutes before deciding to set up an in-person interview. It took two months total from mid-July: the phone convo, and two in person interviews. I got a polite rejection call after Labour Day weekend: I was the runner up, I didn't get the job. $35,000 plus performance based compensation was what they were offering.
