My friend had an offer from
My friend had an offer from them and dropped it because they didn't get many deals, mostly advisory. What are you're options for i-banking/PE? Do that over D&P Analyst.
Solid entry-level real estate
Solid entry-level real estate analyst program (at least out of the Chicago office); mostly middle-market advisory and valuation work. It's a great way to launch an RE career, but it seems like most analysts are quick to jump ship after a year or so. The work is very comparable to any Big-4 real estate transaction advisory group, and guys who leave generally point to low pay and boring engagements (ex. appraising vacant land in rural Indiana).
D&P actually places pretty well within the REPE industry, and the majority of their former analysts land in asset management. My firm's hired a handful of D&P guys (mostly in asset management), but we did bring over a senior analyst for an acquisitions role. Every D&P alum I've worked with is intelligent, hard-working, down-to-earth, and well prepared for buy side work.
With that said, if your ultimate goal is to increase your chances of landing an REPE gig, then the real estate investment banking / PE option is going to be your best bet.
