HFF Legacy vs JLL

I have a phone call coming up with a senior member at JLL that will hopefully lead to an in-person interview. This individual, and team in partcular are HFF legacy. For those of you that have experience in the office since the merger, I'm curious if these guys will conduct the interview and process more "HFF" i.e. fit based. If anyone has any feedback it'd be greatly appreciated. Also, any tips? This is for a debt analyst role btw.

Mostly fit, but know what is going on in their space and know your technical shit if you make it to the interview stage.  The HFF folks are running the show in the capital markets group, and it is just HFF with a bigger platform.  Wear a tie if your call is on video, the older guys there are on zoom calls in dress shirts and ties and have been back in the office for a while now, they really value cultural fit, and a big part of that culture is how you present yourself.
