I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Securities and Exchange Commission (Washington, DC) in Feb 2023
Interview
I had a 20 min phone interview with two attorneys in the DC office. It was pretty laid back and relaxed, and a decent portion of the time was spent with them explaining the internship process to me.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell us about yourself? Why do you want to work at the SEC? What's your interest in financial regulation/capital markets?
