Applied online for the Real Estate Advisory Associate role in Toronto. Heard back within a couple of weeks with an invitation for an initial recruiter screen. The call was short — about five minutes — mostly confirming my background, interest in real estate advisory, and availability. The recruiter outlined the rest of the process: a round with the hiring manager, then an in-person case study (about an hour), and a final more informal conversation with leadership. Straightforward and well-communicated throughout.
Made it to a case round where they asked fairly basic questions about a business case and what I would do with new data. Pretty standard for consulting interviews, nothing unexpected.

My interview process was a total of 3 rounds. The first and last round was mostly behavioral questions, and the 2nd round had some casing aspects / scenario based prompts.
