FT Recruiting - Real Estate

What does the FT recruiting timeline look like for real estate? Do Blackstone, Starwood, Brookfield, etc. recruit outside of their summer analyst classes? What firms recruit out of undergrad? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Those shops pretty much recruit out of their intern classes because very few people who get return offers would turn them down. If there happened to be an opening, I'm going to think they would go back to their intern class/network before posting publically. 

 

You don't really see postings at these kind of shops until you get to VP+ (and even those are scarce and pretty much recruiter only) because their undergrad/MBA recruiting is generally very strong. If this is a firm you want to be at, then your best bet is to be an intern and impress.

I got in through the summer analyst program which turned out to fill the vast majority of our analyst seats. The few that landed an analyst position without the summer analyst tryout had a year or two under their belt at a decent firm. If you check their job board regularly, you'll notice that they all have an analyst role pop up every once in a while, and if you're dead set on it, I'd get creative in establishing a relationship with someone inside the company who can tip you off and potentially vouch on your behalf.

 

Alls I am going to say is this. This summer analyst class is going to be a blood bath for returns. Word on the street that returns are going to be slim to none thanks to the current deal flow situation. Last summer's returns were pretty bad with most of the interns with the heavy hitters (BX, SW etc) going to grad school or having the dreaded "Open for Work!" on their LinkedIn.

Hard to say whats going to happen
