Saw a job posting for an analyst on their Ares Real Estate Equity Team. Anyone have any info on the team, culture, or what types of people they are targeting?
The job posting makes it seem like they want someone with a lot of asset level experience (Argus experience, market underwriting, property due diligence...etc) but upon searching LinkedIn it seems like they primarily hire former bankers. Anyone have insight into that?

Saw the posting, interestingly enough when you go to apply there’s never an opportunity to submit your resume.. don’t really understand the application format
hmm that's odd...maybe an oversight?
Do you have any insight into the position?
I met with a member of the REPE team at Ares last week. I didn't talk to him too much about the specifics of the culture of Ares, but he had nothing but good things to say about the company and his worked seemed very interesting. He was an analyst at DB before moving to the buy side and said they mostly recruit from investment banking, so I don't think too many people start their career there.
Do you think someone from a RE Capital Markets team would have a shot or do they just place such a heavy emphasis on banking.
I don't think it'd be impossible. He said they recruit a lot from banks but I don't think that means that someone with a non banking real estate background would be disqualified. He told me that one of the nice things about real estate is that theres more than one way to get into the game (development, capital markets at CBRE/JLL/HFF etc)
Top notch and very smart group from what I hear. That being said, I've also heard there has been a massive outflow of talent in the past 12-18months
any idea what's caused the exodus of talent?
interested as well
bump/kinda...any insight into their debt group?
This is from a while ago but had a first round phone call with them for this same position (a year ago when I was looking for jobs). They set up 5 minute phone calls, ask about two questions about your background and technical knowledge, and then that is it. It was a pretty bizarre experience to say the least.
