Eastdil employees don’t typically build models from scratch. It’s all templates. Not a great place to learn true Excel modeling, although you use Excel a lot (Argus is the focus), but definitely a great place to get reps and learn the RE investment business and valuation / underwriting. Experience can vary by office though. I worked there for several years as a junior.
And fwiw, I was not a nepo hire. I had no prior real estate or finance experience when I joined, and no family or friends in the business. I just rolled the dice on real estate and worked the interview process. My recollection is the nepos tended to get hired as interns, but full-time hires were made according to aptitude and fit (not your father’s last name), but maybe that’s changed.

Hey REPELondon1, what a lonely thread. I'm here since nobody responded ...so maybe one of these discussions will help:
More suggestions...
I hope those threads give you a bit more insight.
What type of questions did they ask you during the superday? I have mine coming up next week.

Know how to build a model from scratch, and Eastdil mostly takes nepo hires
