If you're referring to first round phone interviews mine were all mostly fit. Some basic why real estate and why MS.

My in-person super day was half fit / half technicals.
Was asked basic questions to see if I understood cap rates and how leverage helps your returns. One guy hand drew two shopping centers, one with a big anchor grocery store and maybe one other store. The second had 5-6 small retail stores. He then asked me which I thought would be more valuable and my thoughts on that. The worst was one analyst who asked me 3-4 brainteasers. I don't think I got any correct but was not expecting those. Never been asked those before or since in any interview.

 

Did you have an interview and if so how did it go? I am also recruiting for repe sa positions and would love some interview tips.
