Good learning experience in real estate development - Analyst Riaz Capital Employee Review

I review property data and do analyses for investment opportunities, but some of the most useful learning comes from discussions with coworkers.

I enjoy hearing how others approach the same information because it helps me become a better analyst.

Some assignments involve so much data that they can drain you mentally.

• I had no CRM system, so I was forced to track everything in disconnected spreadsheets that barely worked together. • Client communications were a complete mess, scattered across email and half finished records because there was no real system to look anything up in. • My days were swallowed by pointless admin work, chasing down files and manually copying data instead of actually closing deals. • I could not run forecasts or even basic pipeline reports because the systems were so poorly built and painfully inadequate. • Nobody could explain how anything was supposed to work because everything was so broken and fragmented that there was no process to explain.
