Industry Banking to REPE

I know the owner of a REPE firm that is pretty notable and could offer really great opportunities. However, I am really interested in a generalist or industry coverage experience in banking(hc,tmt,c&r). Is this transition difficult, and would I even be able to be considered?

I'd say it's a little harder but not impossible. When I was recruiting, some MFs just wanted the best candidates so they interviewed folks across the board. MFs also tend to do more corporate M&A and portfolio aggregation, so the IB skillset is valuable regardless of the group you're in. I found that MM shops focused more on REIB candidates as MMs are typically bottoms-up investors acquiring single properties or smaller portfolios. With that said, if you know this person well and you think you have a solid "in," your group should matter less.
