Real Estate Investor Relations Summer Intern

Interview was a 3 stage process, starting with speaking to a member of HR and a member of the legal team, this 1st interview was very much competency based, simple questions such as why Ares, show me when you have showed leadership, balanced responsibilities etc, then from there after advancing I had an interview with a member of the real estate equity team and the investor relations team. This second interview was much more techinical, was asked which stocks I would invest in, if i had $100m, further was asked how to value a company, then asked to walk them through a DCF, then other basic competency questions.

Final interview stage I got to was once again with two people, one from real estate equity and one from investor relations, here I was asked why specifically real estate, why buy-side rather than sell side and other questions of this nature. Overall would rate the interview process as a good one, I definitely should have and could have prepared more but overall was a good experience interview wise.
