AM or CRE Trajectory?

Hey everyone, I am graduating next December from a top 50 undergrad from the south that has been placing a lot more alumni in NYC over the last few years (think Wake,UGA,NCSU,FSU). I currently have 2 prior internships in NYC with a commercial bank and AM for a large scale CRE company. I am likely going to stick with AM route for a brand name REIT like Kimco, but am wondering what I could pivot that into postgrad. Also wondering if I stick with position for a few years after grad, what steps I could take to get more towards REPE and get further into high finance.
