The top REIT in the country certainly isn’t a bad place to start (which REIT? “Top” varies by asset class).

Pension funds are a good starting place, although if you want to learn how to source deals I’d lateral out after Analyst level. All their deals come to then they don’t have to pursue. I personally see pensions as a place to settle in later in career.

If you want REPE, target KingSett, Slate, Brookfield, Hazelview and Starlight. Of those I think Starlight is the only one that hires straight from UG if you didn’t intern there. To add to that it’s not a shop I’d stay at long term as it’s known for low pay and poor progression.

Your other option is a top brokerage team (CBRE and RBC are generally most well respected here - RBC is technically REIB but most REIB in Canada is just brokerage with the occasional equity/debt issuance for REITs), then lateral after a couple years.
