Corporate PE to Real Estate

Has anyone seen a move from corporate / traditional LBO to acquisitions / development? If so, was it through an MBA / masters program or just networking? Curious on how realistic of a jump that would be, even if it required a hit to comp.

The real estate PE > vanilla PE move is usually due to people realizing they aren’t interested in the sector. Similar to the infra PE > vanilla PE outflow. It’s all investing, but people are generally risk-averse, and want to be more generalist in their trained skillset until they feel confident enough to commit to a niche later in their career. People become wildly successful in RE, but sometimes the dollars don’t matter if you aren’t passionate about the subject matter.
