Girls Who Invest or Hines IM

Hello! I have an offer from the investment management division of Hines. I am wondering if Girls Who Invest is better or Hines is and I am hoping to end up in REPE for junior year recruiting. Just wondering which would be better/more beneficial.

Would love to hear any advice!

Take Hines, it’s one of the best names in real estate, you could go back there for junior year, and you don’t know where gwi will place you. Also don’t get hung up on what’s REPE vs isn’t, Hines has a “REPE” fund, you already have what you want being in their investment management group. The only positive of gwi is you could network a bit, but frankly fuck that getting in without an affinity group is better looks anyways.

 

Agree with this - I used to run GWI for my firm and it was 50-50 whether we got a match for candidate interest / team.  If you have a top real estate name already for your summer, you should be set up well.

There is a decent chance you get a firm that has no real estate exposure at GWI which would be worse for your cause than Hines.
