Are they asking you to build an actual model or just put together a high level outline of what the model would look like? Seems vague. Is this for a development role?
It would be to create a high level outline of the model, which isn't too bad. The issue is mostly with coming up with what questions I would have for "the client" and spelling out what my strategy/framework for building the model would be. I've thought about it and I don't have any questions, and what is there to narrate about my modeling strategy...?
This is for a dev consulting role.
Budget, leasing velocity, vacancy, gant chart for development, land value at acquisition. Timeline for phase 2.
Who asks you to do this? this is very time consuming; this should be the final step before an offer no?
Thanks for the feedback! The thing with this task is that it's a case study where the setup is that a "client" asks you to build model. You don't have to actually build it yet. Instead - you have a first round of exploratory questions for said client that you need to know in order to fully understand their request in order to eventually build the model. So all I need to deliver for this case study is a set of questions to the client and a rough sketch/narrative of the framework I'd use to (eventually) build the model. The difficult part is with how... vague the prompt is. I don't know what questions to ask (I don't have any?), and the "sketch" of the dev model that I would give is what's probably a pretty standard dev model.
This is final round, thankfully lol.
If I was interviewing there i wouldn't waste my time doing it unless there is an offer in hand. What an absurd ask to do from scratch for an interview.

Pretty asinine if I actually had to build it lol.
Bump :')
