LifeCos Group lateral- Underwriting to CRE Acquisitions?
Long time lurker, first post. Recently, I received an offer at a large LifeCos as an underwriting analyst for a specialty line group (energy, marine, aviation). However, my long-term goal is to be working in their real estate arm in acquisitions or AM. I was wondering if anyone has advice on how to go about this or if it were possible? I've seen people intern as an underwriting analyst and then go join as an investment analyst for FT (not necessarily related to real estate but arguably a better position for lateralling), but I get the impression it is more common for interns to switch than FT underwriters. Another possibility is lateraling to an underwriting CRE group and then aim again for acquisitions? Hopefully, someone with more experience can shed some light on this. Thanks.
About me: Undergrad stem major from a top public (UVA, UC, UCLA, UMich). I didn't realize how much I enjoyed real estate until late into undergrad, so no substantial CRE professional experience except for an internship at my local brokerage (tertiary market). It's understandable why I struggled to get CRE interviews.
Hi BananaSam, just because I'm a bot doesn't mean I don't have feelings...I'm hoping these links are helpful. If not, feel free to throw monkey shit at me...
Hope that helps.
