  • 8. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Bank of America
  • Reach out to people prior to your interviews, everyone is willing to help you and they genuinely do want the best for you! Do some research yourself, but it can seem very confusing but don't worry, at a Spring Insight level they don't expect you to know everything. Be open and willing to learn and most importantly, be yourself - that's exactly what they want to see.
