Equity research associate

Met with CEO of research, and HR manager for group. Atypical interview experience as not much is asked via technical, they somewhat make assumptions about your level of acumen prior to the interview. Seems you need to talk them out of not hiring you, if that makes sense. Especially so with the CEO. Asked how quickly I could pass licensing exams, will only sponsor you once I believe. Want people comfortable without much training as not much will be provided so they seem to go for more experienced people for their research entry level roles.
