Summer '25 Recruiting Stats
Hi Guys - wanted to share some stats on the current job market. The mix of places I interviewed with range from Fortune 500, Developer, Brokerage, and REPE. My background is target school, low GPA, non-diversity. Hopefully this is informative for anyone curious - all of this occurred Fall 2024.
Here are the numbers:
250 Applications
4 Hirevue's
10 Recruiter Screening/1st Rounds
4 Second Rounds
0 Superdays
1 Offer
any advice for someone trying to break into the logging industry?

Out of curiosity what were your prior internships like?
To clarify the job offer I accepted was doing asset management for a developer, I had a asset management shadow on my resume (came to office and just learned but didn’t work) and a hotel job over the summer.
I’m a non target studied finance, 3.9 gpa. Wanted to do IB soph year and did a PE internship at no name and no pay - but couldn’t recruit successfully for Ib. but realized CRE was very interesting to me and was fortunate to land REPE internship my junior summer at family office. That didn’t convert so still had to recruit full time for Dec 2024. I was recruiting since i finished the REPE internship ~ Aug 2024 and had a very tough time landing a CRE role. I did maybe ~ 120 applications, 10-15 initial interviews (including phone screens that went unsuccessful) , 2 hirvues, and did maybe 3-4 final interviews. And after much exhaustion and countless tries i finally landed one offer in January 2025 as CRE analyst at a bank, which is balance sheet lending and credit underwriting. (Not the sexiest) but took the offer and ran with it. I honestly don’t think if i’d have a role rn if i rejected that offer, CRE hiring looks pretty slow right now. But i am hoping it picks up soon. Don’t give up everyone, i went to a no name school - it just takes a lot of discipline and determination. I definitely got lucky with having relevant internships but at the end of the day you gotta just be personable and be genuine in your interviews
