Career Direction Help
Hey Everyone,
About me: I'm currently an MBA student with a background in CRE. I have 2 years of experience working acquisitions at a multifamily PE shop and 1 year working for a public pension.
My problem: I'm trying to develop my career direction and vision, and I'm torn between continuing down the acquisitions route and being a specialist vs. going down a more generalist route in investment management/allocation. I see pros/cons to each route and am worried about making the wrong decision. I'd like to avoid being a job hopper and grow roots with a company (especially since I'd like to start a family in the next 5 years), so I'd hope to at least decide on a career direction now.
My questions:
Current market situation aside (I know acquisitions is struggling), how easy/flexible is it to switch from investment management to acquisitions or vice versa, especially once you get to the middle stages of your career?
How significantly have you seen differences in compensation in acquisitions vs. investment management?
In general, how have you approached making large career-decisions like this? Any tips or advice?
Really appreciate any thoughts, no matter how long or short. Thank you!
From what I've seen it is more common to switch from Acquisitions to IM rather than the other way around
Thank you!
