RBC GIB Fall - RE Group Insights?

I have an online interview scheduled with a VP from the group—so I just had a couple of questions I was hoping someone in the community could answer:

  1. How does the Fall interview process usually work at RBC, is it typically one round or are there follow ups (superday, etc)

  2. How does the Fall internship compare to the summer analyst program in terms of return offers, structure, and experience?

  3. Any insights on the RE group (TO) itself (deal flow, culture, etc)?

Based on the most helpful WSO content, here’s what you need to know:

  1. Fall Interview Process at RBC: While specific details about RBC's Fall interview process aren't explicitly outlined in the WSO dataset, general IB interview processes often involve an initial phone or video interview (like the one you have with the VP). Depending on performance, this could lead to follow-up rounds, such as a superday or additional interviews with other team members. It's advisable to prepare for both technical and behavioral questions, as these are common in IB interviews.

  2. Fall Internship vs. Summer Analyst Program: The WSO dataset doesn't provide a direct comparison between RBC's Fall internship and its Summer Analyst program. However, in general, Fall internships may be less structured than summer programs due to their shorter duration and timing during the academic year. Return offers might depend on performance and the firm's hiring needs, but summer programs typically have a more formalized return offer process.

  3. Insights on RBC's RE Group (Toronto): Unfortunately, the dataset doesn't include specific insights into RBC's Real Estate group in Toronto, such as deal flow or culture. However, for any RE-focused group, you can expect to encounter technical questions related to real estate valuation methods (e.g., cap rates, LTV, DSCR) and market trends. Preparing for these topics will be crucial.

If you’re looking for more tailored advice, consider practicing answers to common questions like "Why real estate?" or "Why RBC?" and be ready to discuss your understanding of the current real estate market.
