REIB vs. Power/Infra IB

Monkeys,

I hope that you are all doing well, and staying healthy.

I will be starting my IB analyst stint this summer, granted that COVID-19 and the potential recession do not veer the opportunity.

This past summer, I was placed into my firm's REIB group for the first half of my internship and then transitioned to the Power/Infra group. Both groups had solid deal flow, great culture and similar hours. Modeling was somewhat similar as you would imagine.

Anyway, I will be joining as a generalist within the two groups, but will eventually have to decide my placement. My questions are- what are your thoughts in regard to where I should aim to place myself? How do exit ops/comp fair between REIB/Infra and REPE/InfraPE?

Thanks in advance- stay inside, and stay healthy.

Infra/Power will have more inelastic demand which should be somewhat helpful given we are about the head into a pretty rough recession, if we're not already there. RE is gonna get pummeled, at least in the immediate. Take that for what it is on how that will impact deal flow for both groups.
