Asset management to Development/Acquisitions?

Currently work as an AM at a large retail reit. I am more interested in modeling out acquisitions and development projects.

Is it possible for me to switch at some point? Is this a somewhat common pivot?

AM is soul sucking boring for me as I have way more interest in modeling

Ok, but “modeling” is what you do in development or acqusitions for like 2-4 years. And then you have your analyst do it and check the results. And then you just tell the person who checks the analysts’ results to give you 1-2 return metrics. 

“Modeling” isn’t the job.
