Interviews at SL Green and LNR, and REIT Analyst Questions in General
Hey all, I have a second round for LNR for their rotational analyst program. Anyone have any suggestions of how to prepare? I've never interviewed for a REIT before before the first round phone interview, which was all behavioral. Also, I have an interview for the acquisitions analyst position at SL Green next week as well. I have no clue how to prepare, again since I am pretty new to interviewing at REITs. On a related note, can anyone provide any insight into the analyst programs of REITs, i.e. are any really well-respected, or any that are notoriously bad positions.
I spent my summer doing Investment Banking at a BB, in their Real Estate group.
Thanks
i can't say shit about their analyst program specifically, and i do not follow SLG, but i can't imagine that analyst exp. there would be "bad" or not "well-respected." their founder is still the chairman of the company decades later. they continue raising hundreds of millions of dollars. they continue buying and developing buildings in Manhattan. remember, these are the guys who took Reckson private in one of the largest REIT buyouts ever.
i'd rather be there than at LNR, but it depends what you're interested in. what i can say about junior-level work experience at a special servicer is that it can be rough.
Expect to to take a huge paycut from BB reib for both of those
that's fine, I'll take a pay cut if the hours aren't as bad. Can anyone comment on them? Should I expect 100 hours+ per week?
If you are on the acquisition team, you will be expected to work long hours, possibly more than REPE due to the fact that it is a public company and that they need to make good acquisitions to make the market and shareholders happy. The other thing to consider is that in term of exposure, it cannot get better for someone who wants to be in real estate in the long run. 2 years as an analyst in a firm like SL, Ventas, Vornado and such would make you competitive for REPE funds. I have seen it happen a lot. In terms of deal flow and exposure, only blackstone, TPG, westbrook and colony (and a few more) make billions in acquisitons per year. If you want to be in real estate investing, you cannot go wrong!
