AXA is very well respected. That would look good on your resume.
Thank you for your reply, would you still recommend AXA Investment Managers if it is still not a Front Office role? the job mainly is looking after its current real estate funds, analysing the data, supplying that information to benchmarking suppliers, and also working with Portfolio managers, Property valuers, and Auditors, but has a lot of exposure to different teams.
Tbh I don't think that the other role is front office either. At least in RE AXA IM has a good European reputation, while I've never heard much from Santander (I guess they're super active in Spain?)
End goal?
Thank you for your reply, I am interested in both Risk and Real Estate, but eventually want the graduate job also on the other hand do not want to lose out on the Real Estate Placement at AXA Investment Managers.
Longer term end goal?
AXA placements have like a ~50% conversion rate, are you sure it’s 0?
They said that conversions are not that common but looking at previous interns its less than 25%
