Can anyone who was/is an analyst in IS,debt or whatever, with a top brokerage shop like a CBRE/HFF/Cush, describe typical day is? From my understanding, Analysts spend most times creating pitch books and updating models.
Do they create models from scratch? Do they attend any client meetings or is that for higher level guys on the deal?

It really will depend on how many Analysts are on the team. how active the deal flow is (kinda goes hand in hand) how hands on the upper level guys are. You could be creating pitch books, you could be out taking pictures of your area
I work on a Debt/Equity team at one of the big brokerages. My hours are typically 8-6/7 with weekend work about once a month, however, my team runs pretty lean. The vast majority of my time is spent working excel models and creating OMs or proposals.
For the models, we have a "template" for each one (value add acquisition, ground up development, general loan sizing, etc), but you have to really mess around with it and essentially create your own stuff model because every deal is so different. My team tries to match the returns/numbers of the clients model and send each lender/investor our model. It is easier said than done. Although it is time consuming, I definitely view it as a positive at the analyst level because I now have great excel skills.
Feel free to reach out if you have any more questions.
8-6/7 not too bad at all. Probably depends on market though.
I've heard it's tough to take any PTO if you're in big shop as deals are always coming in. True?
Every team is different, but my bosses have never had an issue with me taking PTO as long as I give over a week notice. We have two analyst on my team and as long as we both aren't gone the same time all is good.
Also on a debt/equity team at a top national brokerage. I second this entire post. Started at my company in Q3 2016 and worked 8-6 through the end of the year. When the new year hit we were launching a few big deals so I worked every day new years day through today including weekends. It has been more like 8-7/8 for me after the new year.
Can anyone speak as to how much cold-calling goes on at big shop like JLL for an entry-level analyst?
If you're an analyst, zero. Analyst will be a salaried role.
how much is the base pay typically for an analyst for the big brokerage shops, range of 50-55K?
I have an interview coming up at JLL for an analyst position on a tenant rep team. This thread confirmed my salary expectations but what kinds of questions can I expect? I'm still fresh out of school looking to transition from this small commercial prop management/retail value-add shop I'm at currently.
general stuff. why real estate, why jll, what do you know about us, tell us about yourself.
