Infra banking vs. RE banking

Hi All,

I’m an associate 2 at have received 2 seperate BB offers for other banks (currently at a boutique in infra coverage). One is in RE coverage, another in infra coverage. RE offers better WLB (team also seemed really nice) but infra potentially some other exit ops down the track for infra funds (I think I would want to transition to an investor type role down the track). However, infra team seemed like pretty big hardos so I’m a bit scared of my WLB. RE role pays a bit better too. Any thoughts / wisdom on the choice?

 

I’m based in Australia. RE PE here isn’t as big, very limited players. There are however significant exits available for infrastructure PE, which is booming here currently. So the question is about long-run exit opportunities. The real estate team at this bank does lots of raising and ECM work so less skills for a PE exit too. Finding it very tricky
