I applied online and was contacted about a month later by a talent acquisition associate who set up a phone screening with a corporate recruiter. One day prior to my phone interview, I received an automated rejection email. After calling to confirm, I was informed that the email was a mistake and my interview was still on. The phone interview was easy and straight forwarded - nothing technical, basic walk me through your resume questions and why fixed-income / Baltimore / T. Rowe? After about 30 minutes I was told that the next round of interviews would be with the hiring manager and I needed to prepare at least 2 stocks to pitch. Two weeks later I emailed following up and got no reply. Three weeks later I followed up again and was told I would hear in the next few days --- 10 min. later I got the automated denial email.

initial 1 on 1 interview over zoom lasting 30 minutes. Each position is specific towards a specific market and they expect some experience in that field preferably professional experience. No quantitative assessment in the initial interview
