I have a networking call tomorrow with an analyst in my dream REPE group. Can you guys give me advice on the caliber of questions to ask to make an excellent first impression?

what's your relationship to this person? Friend of friend? Alumni? Found on linkedin? That really dictates what is possible/best line of action.
Since it is an analyst, I would treat primarily as just informational, you can ask about the recruiting process, but unless you really know this person very well (which it sounds like you don't), I wouldn't push for a referral. When and if you apply for a job there, you can later on let then know, they can then chose to forward internally if they want to.
The analyst is an alumni. The reason for my excitement is that it is a v small group
given that he is alum, you can more directly ask for help/advice on getting in the door. Still, don't be to direct, if he offers take, otherwise just play it cool.
Do you guys have something in common? Its okay to go into the call just wanting to know more about the persons experience and how they got there. Its always good to come prepared with a couple high level questions about what he does. The point is to get the other person to carry the conversation and let them talk more than you, you won't be asking them for an interview during the first meeting.

Ask the guy about:
what ones hes worked on recently that hes allowed to tell you about
how covid has changed the strategic or tactical approaches to investment
what markets he is bullish and bearish on in his field, any contrarian themes etc.
Basically, be interested in their day to day, if you can move the chat naturally to more off work topics, then do it. It's worth noting that that's hard to do on the phone without coming across super fucking try hard.

^truth.... Ross owns the Miami Dolphins!!! I would have sooooo many questions for him!
Be me: at real estate event. Go into bathroom before it starts. Random guy in suit at urinal next to me. Don't recognize or talk to him. Go out into room, sit down. Guy gets up on stage....CEO of Related.......prime networking opportunity lost. LOL
Blau is a stand-up guy who is very approachable. Reach out next time you see him at an event (2021?), but don't mention the urinal story...
Talk to him like he's just a guy sitting next to you at a bar. And assume he's easily offended and Mormon.
Mormon lmaoooo
Just talk to him and get to know him. Ask him how he got his role, the types of deals he has been working on, what the recruiting process was like, etc. and try to make some kind of personal connection outside of work matters.
It's an analyst, not a director. Ultimately, if you get the vibe he likes you then just ask him for advice on getting a job and ask if there's anyone he can introduce you to who can help.
