PGIM Real Estate Finance Superday Preparation
Hi all--
I applied for a position with PGIM Real Estate Finance as a Real Estate Investment Analyst and passed the first couple rounds. Now I have a superday, which is comprised of four interviews: principal, two directors, and an investment analyst. Each interview is scheduled to be thirty minutes (2 hours total). Here are my assumptions about the questions they'll ask me:
-Technical questions about loan/financing structures (as it specifically relates to Fannie/Freddie Multifamily loans)
-Ways to value a real estate asset
-Ways to value worthiness of a borrower
-Some core commercial real estate concepts that you'd encounter on the equity side such as IRR, Equity Multiple, Cap Rate, Cash-on-Cash, etc.
-Behavioral questions such as strengths/weaknesses, challenges faced, why Real Estate/why PGIM, 3-5 year goals, etc.
They did not ask me to to complete a case study prior to this interview. If anyone has any suggestions, feedback, or input on the following, I would greatly appreciate it:
-What additional questions should I expect?
-What are the typical steps after a superday? I've heard of an additional round of interviews for analysts that pass, but I'm curious if anyone knows how long I would wait to hear back?
Any and all feedback would be greatly appreciated.

I recently accepted the opportunity to work as an intern on the RE side this summer. Though my interview was certainly not as comprehensive as yours may be considering the full-time position, my best advice is to know your technicals, but also be personable. Almost everyone in your shoes knows their stuff, and has passed through the first few rounds as I am sure there is a technical buffer you had to pass in between the first few rounds, now they just want to make sure you're human. I had the opportunity to go out to lunch with some of those I would be working alongside, along with other potential candidates. I swear everyone else continued asking about the position and RE markets but I asked about personable, "what's there to do in the city, what are your hobby's, etc."
Also, I know there's a post regarding lingering on WSO of a completed PGIM RE or REF (forget which one) Case Study for entry-level Analysts. Maybe just skim through it and confirm you know what is going on, and could replicate the case, as these would probably close to any technical questions they may ask you.
Good Luck!
