Hey everyone,
Im currently looking at entry level positions in finance and would like peoples opinions on deal flow, exit ops, pay, prestige, etc... I am choosing between secondaries (generalist), Real Estate IB, and REPE. All of these would be at "top" groups (house-hold names). What would you guys recommend as a first job for someone who ultimately wants to start a fund in real estate or credit? Thanks everyone!

If you want to do RE then you should choose the RE option. How well known is the REPE firm? If it's a top firm and that would be your ideal exit form REIB, I'd suggest doing that. If you want to keep your options more open then I'd probably do REIB. Someone more familiar with the RE space can chime in though.
Do you have offers at these places? Really depends on the names. If it's Blackstone/Starwood/Carlyle REPE then I'm choosing REPE.
