Help! - Real Estate vs Chemicals Group

Have been offered to join both groups at great BB (in the realms of Citi). Frankly, would rather be at a more traditional group like healthcare, consumer retail, tmt, etc, but it's very difficult to get traction within group placement. 

I'm leaning towards Real estate, gaming, and lodging. However, given where CRE is rn (especially office), what is the forecasts for the group? Is there transferable modeling experience / general finance knowledge to move to consumer / another classical ebitda-driven business down the line? I would rather not be pigeon holed like being in FIG or a product group, so I've tried to make the best out of this. 

Would love to hear about people's experience in real estate and how transferable the skills are.
