Hello Monkies!
Quickly approaching my 2 year anniversary at my small emerging REPE shop. While those in the IB fields have a set career trajectory that usually sees them leaving for PE after their 2 year stint, us folks in the RE industry have a lot more options/experiences to choose from.
While the thought of sticking it out at my emerging fund sounds appealing (there have been promises of making partner (one day)) the city I live in is my hometown and I really think a change of scenery to a big city like DC or NY sounds appealing. I do enjoy REPE and acquisitions but if the ultimate goal is to be a MD or a partner in a Fund one day, I think it is essential that your real estate background has institutional names on the resume.
I am curious to hear other people's thoughts and stories regarding changing their jobs.
When did you decide to leave? What prompted you to make a change?
Deleted. sorry wrong thread.

Not a fan of your post as proverbs are so contextual...which one should he apply?
Could be true that... When you are through changing, you are through. ~ Bruce Barton
At the same time... Those who expect moments of change to be comfortable and free of conflict have not learned their history. ~Joan Wallach Scott
And yet... All change is not growth, as all movement is not forward. ~Ellen Glasgow
In the end, I'd vote for... Continuity gives us roots; change gives us branches, letting us stretch and grow and reach new heights. ~Pauline R. Kezer
Edit: My answer is that only OP will know! Best of luck in your decision.
Jokes on you dude for spending all that time thinking/typing out that reply lol
3 minutes to google and copy/paste. No sweat off my back if it helped OP. Hope he makes a choice he's comfortable with. Seems like most agree its a personal thing.
I left my previous job/city almost a year ago. Looking back, I wish I would have continued to recruit/interview or even just stay put. In my opinion, it's not worth changing things up...unless you get a job with your dream company, you know EXACTLY what you want, or you're absolutely miserable. That's what I gained out of my move. But that's me. Good luck with your decision REPE8
I've had many misses, too. The grass is not always greener on the other side.
