CBRE Global Investors Technical Interview
I have a second-round technical interview/test at CBRE Global Investors next week for an entry-level analyst position. The invitation email gave an outline of the test as 30 min written, 1-hour real estate finance, 1 hour 30 mins Argus, for a 3 hour total. I've been working through an Argus certification course and the BIWS real estate technical course, but was wondering if anyone had any more info on what to focus on?
What’s your experience? If you don’t mind me asking.
.
do you know if they have a modeling test for SA too?
How'd the technical end up going?
I also took this technical test, what did you think?
Oh cool, congrats on making it to the second round! I'll be honest I thought it was a little challenging at parts. If you read my previous reply ^^ you can see that my experience is limited so there were some terms I didn't know, but I don't think I did terribly. I'll have to wait and see. What did you think?
I took the technical as well. Excel questions weren't terribly tough, but the Argus was a mess for me. I'm straight out of college with 90% multifamily exp. and no experience with Argus so it put in a bit of a mental pretzel. Let's cross our fingers for the superday.
Argus test was extremely straightforward. Excel test was a bit ambiguous for some of the questions but nothing unreasonable.
Don't worry I also thought it was challenging and I have a little more experience being out of undergrad for a year. I've mainly worked in Retail/Multifamily, so it was tough being more office focused. Hope we both make it to the superday!
What did the test consist of? I’ve gathered that it was some sort of office investment in Argus. What all was asked of you and what was the investment strategy?
I took the test too. I also think it’s quite challenging. There are a few tricks in the Argus test. For the real estate finance maths, I guess the problems come from their work. I don’t work in real estate investments. Even though I learned some knowledge from my self-study, it’s still challenging due to the lack of work exposures. Wish us luck! 🤞🏼
Anyone know what all in starting comp for analysts in the LA office is?
Curious too
When I spoke to an analyst circa 2018 at the LA office, think it was around $80k-$90k base ... bonus not sure but it won't blow you outta the water since CBRE GI is more core-focused - still will be healthy I'm sure. Heard they will pay you well enough to where you wouldn't want to leave for a bit.
How did you hear about the opportunity? Just applying online?
Applied online, they've been posting it repeatedly over the past few weeks. I was "in the system" already according to someone there, but not sure how much that helped.
Superday invites have already gone out btw.
Did you get the invite?
Yes how else would we know lol
So I'm assuming no email means a ding
I only got a survey about the test lol
superday invites sent out today
Did you get the invite?
yesir
Anyone knows how many ppl they hire this year?
heard 10-15 across all offices
So 25-30 for super day?
Ok, through to super day. I also was "in the system" and didn't apply. Have a few options at the moment, does anyone know if this is an Analyst or Associate level role?
Analyst
Has anyone heard back regarding Superday?
