Can you exit from Fund to Asset management or Investment in Real Estate ?

URGENT !!

Hello,

I am currently interviewing for a position as a fund management analyst at a real estate investment and asset management company. I must admit that initially, I applied for a position in asset management or investment analysis, but given the current real estate market situation, the company only had a fund management position to offer.

If I were to take this fund management position, I would like to know if I could switch in the same company or another one to asset management or investment analyst quickly and easily after 6 months/1 year or a maximum of 2 years working in fund management.

What do you think? Is it possible or not worth it ?

Please, I need a quick response because my interviews have just ended, and I need to give an answer to the company.

Thank you for your time !

I would like to keep the name of the company anonymous if that's ok with you. But the company is for sure a great name in Europe

That is what I am saying to myself. The job market (particulary in Real Estate) is at its lowest point. I can't miss this opportunity. But I really don't want to be stuck at fund management. My strategy is to start in fund management but always be on the lookout for an opportunity in asset management or investment.

I simply just need more experienced individuals in the field to tell me that it's feasible and achievable and that they've seen professionals do it before (moving from fund to asset/invest). This will allow me to seize this opportunity confidently and continue to look for opportunities at asset management or investment.

 

Hello and thank you for your respond.

The money of the fund is financed with something like 80% to 90 % Equity (from Corporation, institution, family office money...) and the rest is financed with Debt (20 to 10%).

Let me specify that this EU real estate fund is something similar to what the US and the UK call a REIT.
