Better Exit Opps for MF REPE

Hey everyone,

If you were choosing between a middle market REIB group (Raymond James, KeyBanc, TD) and a top capital markets brokerage (Eastdil or maybe JLL), which path do you think would position you better for a mega fund REPE exit after a 2-year analyst stint?

Eastdil is really the only brokerage shop that gives you a shot at MF REPE, but still extremely limited.

RJ is probably the best of those options because you could then lateral to a REGL groups at a more reputable bank and then get looks at REPE. They get the occasional mandate.

The large RE funds just don’t really consider brokers for on-cycle, generally a much lower talent pool than REIB.

 

REIB. Opens up more doors (lateral to a BB, direct RE recruiting, work for corporate client, etc.). Brokerage isn't a real pipeline to MF from what i've seen and you begin your career with a narrower skill set. I'm assuming you are juinor level.
