Interview for Acquisitions Analyst role at Industrial REIT

Interviewing for a large reit that focuses on industrial. Does anyone have insight into the hiring process at these large reits? Should I be expecting an extensive modeling test that’s industrial specific? What do you think I should know for the interview? Any advice/info would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Hey there! Based on the most helpful WSO content, here's what you can expect:

  1. The hiring process at large REITs usually involves multiple rounds of interviews. This could include phone screens, in-person interviews, and a super day.

  2. You should definitely be prepared for a real estate modeling test. While it may not be specifically industrial-focused, it will likely test your understanding of real estate financials and your ability to model cash flows, among other things.

  3. As for what you should know for the interview, make sure you're well-versed in the basics of real estate acquisitions and the specific dynamics of the industrial sector.

  4. In terms of advice, I'd recommend brushing up on your technical skills, especially as they relate to real estate financial modeling. Also, be prepared to discuss why you're interested in real estate, and more specifically, why you're interested in the industrial sector.

Remember, every banana is a step closer to the top of the tree! Good luck with your interview!
