Brokerage to...
Hey guys, just looking for a little bit of help...I am currently in agency leasing at a top 3 firm (CB, JLL, Cushman) in a top 5 US market. My current job is great--it is the #1 leasing team in the city and I have worked on various aspects of over 15 deals in 8 months. I am learning a great deal about RE but can tell that leasing is not very cerebral, and that success primarily requires hard work/relationships and not analysis/critical thinking. As a long term goal, I want to transition to development/acquisitions and buy real estate assets of my own--it seems much more challenging and exciting. My question is, with no college finance background (just top 15% grades), what is my best move here to another comparably good job in development or acquisitions? Am I an idiot for wanting to leave this job after a year-18 months? This forum is great so I appreciate any feedback. Thanks a lot.
