Best CRE jobs (Not highest paying)
What would be some of the best CRE jobs for a student exiting college? I’m not asking what the highest paying jobs are, rather the jobs that will help you learn real estate the best/most thoroughly/fastest. Thanks!
If you want to learn as much as possible, and as fast as you can all things real estate, development is my first thought. Getting thrown into the fire as a development/investment analyst, you will be forced to learn quickly. You will help with entitlement, site finding, capital sourcing, leasing, asset management, etc. There aren't many other real estate positions that cover so many scopes.
Development gang checking in
IMO it’s the same two routes -> development or acquisitions.
Thoughts on brokerage at a big player? Are the reps you get on deals as valuable as acq/development?
I don't think they're as valuable, but brokerage at a brand name shop coming directly out of school is definitely a great place to start. Hard to argue with CBRE or JLL or something on the resume for a couple years.
generalist role where you just do everything. Deck for capital raising? Debt memo? Own the acquisition model? Budgeting and quarterly valuation? Coordinate roof replacement? Email monkey when buying or selling? All your job.
In my opinion, it's an analyst role at a good brokerage team in your market. Preferably investment sales or capital markets (not leasing unless that's what you want to do). If you're on a good team, you'll get a ton of reps modeling, meeting the players, learning the space, etc. It also gives you a test run to see the brokerage world without taking a risk. If you realize you like brokerage you can stick it out, if you don't then you have great underwriting skills to get a senior analyst or associate job in acquisitions, asset management or development. No other time in your career can you explore a space in such a way.
