Behavioral Technical Case

Had a really good time interviewing, folks were nice. 3 person first round might be intimidating for some. 3 rounds total including a phone screen. First was a 15 min screener covering why real estate, why Harrison, and other basic job questions. Second was a 30 min zoom call with questions on why real estate, why Harrison, weaknesses, and 1-2 basic real estate metric techs (CoC return, equity multiple, DSCR). Last round was with a VP+ and more technical, but not overly so.

The interview process was pretty standard and mostly behavioral. After it was done, nobody replied, so I had to follow up. I was then told the position was on hold, but I'm not sure if that's really why.

Confirmed questions2 questions
  • Can you describe your previous work experience?
