Breaking into Real Estate Finance full time without experience?
Hi all,
Thanks for taking the time to read this. I am currently a senior at Cornell in a social science major and I am very interested in commercial real estate. I have always been interested in the field, but never had any luck picking up experiences and instead my summers have been in a local PWM firm (nothing big) and doing product management (non-tech company) where I have a full time offer that pays comparable to banking with better hours. However, I still want to be in commercial real estate in the long run as I grew up around it a bit (my dad invested non-professionally and was pretty successful, not crazy wealthy though or anything), and definitely see myself doing the same thing regardless if I can get into CRE professionally. Ideally, I'd like to get into development, but I know many first start off in real estate finance. How should I go about my job search? Is it possible to break into a role full-time? Ideally, I wanna be in the NYC area, but I am open to really anywhere just not bum-fuck nowhere. Is there anyone who has experience breaking into CRE without any relevant college experience? I thrived in my extra-circulars on campus but those also were not real estate relevant. I know I shot myself in the foot, but I guess that's a part of growing and learning. My GPA is around a 3.34/3.4 if that matters at all. I so far have had no luck applying to things on my career services website. Thank you all!
