Hi guys,
2 topics:
A) Currently trying to secure a job in Real Estate I've been contacted for an interview for this role: https://jones-lang-lasalle.talentify.io/job/finan…
It seems interesting but hard to see what JLL really does. (acquiring properties, is it transactional ? Only research ? Advisory ? Should I expect a classic DCF modeling test?)
I'm currently interviewing for REPE funds and it's much more clearer regarding the process and what you'll do as an analyst.
If someone has some experience or information about a similar role I would be glad to get it!
B) I'm interviewing on Friday with GlobalSwitch for a commercial analyst/associate role / Investment team (weird job spec). It seems to be a great company and a very interesting asset class but the role will not be 100% working on acquisition and developments (AM / portfolios valuations, strategy and commercials tasks...) It pays well and the HH said that the company offers a great work life balance and a great culture. Do you think that such a role can close doors for REPE after 1-3 years? Maybe that I will get the job and won't want to hear about REPE anymore but I just don't want to get pigeonholed for some reasons (background, experience...).
Thanks in advance!
up!
JLL role seems to be a new Alternative Investment Advisory team. I’m not too familiar with that space or what they do in Europe, but seems like it from sounds of it. This is a huge space right now. I’m at an large institutional shop and there’s been a huge focus on alternative investments and starting new funds, allocations in current ones, etc.
If you have an interest on transitioning to a large institutional shop in the future, you would have an interesting and different skill set that most would not have in that space and you could stand out amongst others.
Thanks a lot for your answer! Could you resume what they actually do in these teams (not the alternatives investments one in particular)?
From what I've understood JLL is not acquiring properties directly but helping third-parties in their transactions? As an exemple company "X" that is not an investment fund wants to acquire some office and JLL charge them fees and provide them with a model, financing advices, return analysis...? Is it like renting an acquisition/disposal/research/AM team to some clients? It can sound a bit dumb but before IB I've worked at a big AM in their RE team and only interviewed with REPE shops since then. JLL/CBRE etc... are just brokers to me and I would love to ace this interview!
Thanks again, appreciate.
That’s correct. They act as an Advisor.
The job post is a bit misleading as it could make it out like it is an Investment team, but JLL does not actually do any investments other than LaSalle which is basically a completely different arm.
JLL likely saw a need in the market for specialized team in this niche which is likely true.
