Debt & Equity Analyst vs. Institutional I/S vs. Acquisition Analyst
Interviewing and applying for Debt/Equity Team, Investment Sales Team, and several Acquisition Analyst positions. I am about to receive an offer from a Value-Add Acquisition firm that specializes in industrial/flex/office conversion to Life Science and Creative Office use. They are financed by a multi-billion dollar consulting firm and are looking to deploy $500,000,000+ in acquisitions over next 24 months. There's only 5 principals that represent the "CRE Investment Arm" of the billion dollar consulating firm that backs the fund. The pay will be good but I will only get exposure to office/covered land acquisition, development/stabilization/lease-up, then disposition. Their business model is acquire, hold 3-5 Years, Redevelop/Lease,/Stabilize, Sale for 1.5x+.
I am also on my last interview round (Debt & I/S Analyst), but they won't have an opening for two more months. I connected with a managing director. I've had in-person interviews with 4 people on his team and they have acknowledged that everyone gave me great feedback.
Seems promising, should I wait or accept the acquisitions analyst role? I know how competitive and can easily be over-hired by a client's son, etc lol..
An offer is worth more than no offer. If you can line them up to come at the same or similar time, you can choose, but otherwise, take what you get. It seems like this is your first job, you can’t be too picky in this environment.
Interesting first option. Mind me asking what comp they're offering for a consulting backed CRE investment arm?
Tell JLL that you have the offer in-hand from the other company. Say that you would like to see the process out and are very interested in working for them, but you don't want to turn down a concrete offer to wait and see for JLL. If they really like you then they will likely speed things up, if not then take the gig and don't look back.
Any update?
My first recommendation would be to ditch the (Ex HFF) after every mention of JLL. The acquisition was two years ago.
Tell this to the "Ex HFF" people who have that shit all over their LinkedIn and introduce themselves that way.....
Like it's "Hello I'm Bob, I'm with JLL, but formally HFF, so I'm better than JLL"
