As someone who hires analysts, I've noticed that IS analysts from CBRE/JLL/CW/etc. are typically more prepared and do better on modeling tests that we provide than people that come over from RE IB. It's not that REIB analysts are incompetent because they obviously aren't, but a high transaction volume IS analyst are more prepared in my experience. I did qualify my original statement saying from what I've seen. so obviously its not perfect blanket statement that applies to every person in IS vs every person in IS. 

Also, the OP stated "breaking into equity investment role" not just top REPE and any family office/ middle market REPE/Dev need transactional experience more than IB experience.
