Anyone else get multiple emails on assessments, they were the same. I emailed HR just want to make sure they got my results…
Had the same problem
I would imagine they make their decisions before the holidays, so like December for the program
Reach out to a few associates at the office you’re interested in or you’ll never make it past the hurvue.
Anybody know what the 3 interview questions are?
last year I got: 1) Why real estate. 2) talk about an article you read recently. 3) talk about a time you worked in a team
Working in institutional dev now, but when I applied to ES, my question no. 3 was “What is your favorite building, and why?”
How long do we have to complete the assessments?
I don't see a timeline anywhere.
Anyone heard back after submitting the Hirevue?
I haven’t yet, but I received my rejection from Berkadia today so maybe they’re following soon.
Did you have a hirevue or anything for Berkadia?
Just got a first round
I connected with nobody and got a first round. Did I get lucky on the IQ test?
Terrible GPA to add
Anyone hear?
Completed the hirevue but still haven't heard back. One of the VP/Recruiters (Idk maybe he's both?) just replied to my email 2 weeks later for a coffee chat on zoom so maybe they're starting soon?
Had something similar happen with a MD reaching out a month after I had a mutual connection introduce us so they may be kicking off soon.
Went through FT 24 recruiting last year. First round was an interview with 2 juniors (mostly behavioral), next round was with SVP staffer (behavioral again, sprinkled in some light techs and brainteasers), and then got to the Excel test (pro-forma, cleaning up data, formulas, etc). Didn't get past the Excel round but I imagine it would only be another round before a super day.
So call with senior also had excel test in it?
Curious if applicants could get multiple interviews for different offices. Had someone reach out for an office I didn’t apply to but had a mutual connection so trying to figure out if this is an interview or not.
Also curious on how hiring looks for yall if you could share. The institutional teams at CBRE, JLL and Newmark haven’t been actively recruiting for 2025 roles and have said they won’t know about needs for a while so how are you guys handling it.

Bit of insight hear as to how institutional teams at the other large brokerage shops hire. Teams really only hire on an “as needed” basis rather than the cyclical nature of Eastdil.
If you are looking for roles, I’d suggest reaching out to as many institutional teams as possible to maximize your surface area of luck for finding an opening. All about getting lucky with timing.

Wso bugging as usual my apologies
How many rounds are interviews?
does anyone know where SA 2025 is at?
Are you in the process right now?
I did hirevue and a phone screen but haven’t heard anything since
Just finished 4th round (Excel Modeling Test), was pretty rough. Should hear back for final decisions by the end of the week.
What constituted the Excel test?
When did you apply? I applied in October and completed the hirevue a few days later and haven't heard anything. Does this mean I got rejected?
Same brotha…
