Acquisitions Analyst

Worked at a small mom and pop real estate firm for one year. Recruiter contacted me on Linked In. Had initial phone call with associate. he was impressed. Month later, met with 5 investment level professionals total at the firm. Director and above.

The firm is fit heavy. You should have a basic understanding of IRR and how debt level play in to real estate. I got really nervous on my one technical questions, and talked through it with two associates. Arghh .... I was sooo nervous.

They ask you to do a modeling test in round III from my understanding. I only made it to round II. From my understanding the firm is big on culture, they are very laid back and have reasonable hours. The younger guys live in the city and commute in to Westchester.

Pay at the associate level was $70k-$85K based on what my recruiter told me. Bonus would have been about $15k. Again, what the recruiter told me back in summer of 2012.
