Anybody have any experience or know anybody who has made this transition. I went to a second tier school and graduated with a 3.8 GPA while interning at the same Real Estate Development firm the whole time. It is a very prestigious firm that is always ranked in the top 10. My boss had 10 years in Banking before making the move to where he is now. I have been thinking about making a move to Banking or PE. Any suggestions?
