If your goal is to be in an IB department someday, my advice is to get out of here. Those people are insurance salesmen.

They had a table set up at my schools career fair, and my buddy signed up for an interview. Everything went well and he had high hopes for the job. They offered him a position, then came the reality. It is 100% sales. You might get your 7 and 66, but i think at first they just have you get your 6. You will start off by hassling friends and family to buy crappy insurance products. You will then cold call, go door to door and compete with several other new hires to get a client or two just so you can support yourself. Then comes the good stuff... You have to rent your cubicle after 6 months. I believe it was over 700 a month (yes, a month) to rent the cube... You have to buy their company computers and other BS like that... I forgot what else he said they told him, but needless to say he didnt take it.

Ya, AXA is a shill job. If you are still in school I would say smile, nod, get them to sponsor you, pass your 7 and walk away. They do 7's because they need to have people who can sell stock also. Series 7 test is a joke, but I guess it looks better than nothing.

I also obtained an interview with AXA Advisors. I have been reading all the posts. So basically, I should just not even participate in the interview? I want to go into IB.
If you want IB then don't go
If you want IB then don't go to AXA. You might want to consider it for interviewing preparation, but it is for FA positions.
