HFF Financial Modeling Experience
Hi all, new to WSO but wanted to open this question up to anyone who knows/works at HFF. I'm interviewing for a Debt Analyst position and a team analyst for an office/industrial team. Debt Analysts, from my understanding, don't necessarily need to have as much financial modeling experience as an analyst working exclusively for a team. My financial modeling experience (DCF in Excel and building out the model) is minimal and Argus experience is none. (yeah, don't even ask me how I got the interview).
But in any event, seeking some insight into what level of financial modeling is needed to get the team analyst position, how I'd go about getting the training, etc. There's so much info out there that it's a bit overwhelming. If someone could point me in a direction that'd be so awesome. I'm also getting things together to undergo the Argus training and have read a bunch of threads about this.
Also, have my second interview for the Debt Analyst position this week. If anyone has undergone the second phase of interviewing for this position; what kind of questions should I expect?
Anything is appreciated - thank you!
Their different offices probably have different processes but HFF is known for caring more about fit during the interview process
Agreed with above. I’ve interviewed with a team of theirs before and was all fit. Thy didn’t even ask me any RE technical questions.
What was your position and yrs of experience?
I have about 1 year of RE analytical experience. No Argus experience. Interviewing for a Debt Analyst position and for an RE analyst position with a team as "their" analyst.
I had 1 year of general RE experience. No Argus experience.
I have a friend who works at HFF. They don’t care if you don’t know Argus.
Agreed with above. I’ve interviewed with a team of theirs before and was all fit. Thy didn’t even ask me any RE technical questions.
A big shop like that will have multiple people that can train you. Wouldn't worry about that, not a bad idea to brush up but don't stress on it.
Would echo what others are saying in that most shops don't really care if you have Argus experience - it's so easy to pick up on the job that it doesn't even really matter
