Hi folks, I was reached out to by a Fidelity Investments recruiter about their LEAP program. I'm interested but want to know people's experience and how it went/the interview process. Like maybe what questions they asked during the recruiter call and interviews etcetc. It seems like a good thing for someone like me who doesn't have a lot of experience.

I don't know anyone who has been through the program. I've heard the compensation is great but the training isn't the best. I don't know if anything has changed though. Hopefully you can make a connection with someone who has more experience with the program. If the training has improved, it could be a great way to gain some education and experience.

We have one that’s internal called MADE for non tech folks. Which I did. There is some overlap as the programs are related.

Our instructors are the same as LEAP. But it’s a great opportunity! For us they looked for people who has a track record of learning as that’s all we do for 16 weeks in MADE.

100% worth it if you can get it!
