Also some additional questions if you have time. I would appreciate any insight here.

If your end goal is to be in acquisitions which role would you take out of college? Are the skills you learn in asset management easily transferable to a role in acquisitions? Would you be a strong candidate for a top tier acquisitions role if you did AM at AEW? Could Starwood Property Trusts rotational program open doors to real estate investment banking/ advisory?

 

Do you have offers with both? I'm assuming for STWD you would start out in surveillance right? For AEW - I'd be curious about the types of assets the role would cover / if they are wholly owned, or managed with a JV partner.
