When is it appropriate for undergrads to start applying to analyst positions?
If a Junior year undergrad sees a FT analyst position posted when is it reasonable for them to start applying, does it change if they may be able to graduate a semester early?
I would say the fall of Senior Year is an appropriate time to start applying in most cases. The issue with Real Estate is that you have companies on opposite ends of the spectrum. Some companies especially lenders (Wells, JP) have very organized application processes where they start recruiting pretty early on (I've seen as early as late summer and most are in the fall). But then you also have a lot of smaller firms with much less organized processes (Small PE and Development shops, Most Brokerages) where they are unsure of there needs this early on and don't recruit until later on (Sometimes as late as after graduation). Obviously, there are exceptions to these rules, this is just what I saw going through recruitment. It sucks because if you get offers early in the fall that you don't love you have to make your decision without knowing what might come up later on.
Ideally when you're somewhere in your senior year, but it really doesn't matter when. I will agree with the above, that some of the bigger banks and lenders have more formalized programs that follow a more formal recruiting model. Typically it will occur in the fall with offers put out by December.
However, I will say needs can change for RE firms, so not every firm follows that recruitment model. Many have needs that shift constantly and it tends to happen more often at the end of winter, more into spring and early summer.
If you're a junior in college just network for a summer internship, there certainly still is time to lock one in. You may have to target smaller firms that have less formalized processes, but they can move quick and often like the extra help they can get.
Yeah I am already set for this summer at a BB, but there is a position with a specific team at a well known REPE that I would love to toss my name in the hat for. Was wondering if it would be unreasonable to be applying to such as position now. just some background I do somewhat know one of the VPs on the team through prior networking.
