As someone with a background in Debt Syndication (for corporates and sponsors) is it possible to lateral to Real Estate Capital Markets / Syndication without having anything RE-related on your CV?
The overall focus of the role would be the same, i.e. arranging debt financing. Are there any major differences in terms of syndication process or other aspects that would require experience in RE?
Thank you
