Eastdil Secured SA 2021

Hi All, 

I was wondering anyone has heard anything from the Santa Monica or San Francisco office regarding first round interviews. I'm from NY and haven't heard anything from the offices on the east coast. 

Thanks

Same boat, but I think Eastdil doesn't send out rejection letters so you can't really ever know. 

I asked them for accelerated interviewing because of an exploding return offer and they did not, their recruiting timeline seems to be over about a month. 

 

I went with the exploding return offer. An offer in hand is always better than a potential offer you're interviewing for. Other offer was at a BB lending role, which I was perfectly happy with. My first round interview with Eastdil for their SF office didn't go too well anyways because I got sort of nervous and choked on some basic questions so I doubt that I would have gotten the offer. I do remember that interviews with them were different than a lot of the other places I interviewed at. It's not enough to just say you're interested in real estate because it's tangible then answer some questions about cap rates and DSCRs, they hold a higher standard and ask a lot of more conceptual questions. I remember one question that sort of threw me off guard was about what your favorite real estate development is and I answered Taipei 101 I think.
