Analyst at a Bank doing lending, mostly ground up construction across multiple asset classes (a lot of condo, multi, life science) in a major market. What are exit opportunities for this type of role? I’ve always been interested in development and acquisitions. I don’t want to stay in lending forever.

Hey CREmonkey285, I think you deserve a response...heck, everyone does. We're listening, sorry about the delay ...my best guess at places on WSO that could help:
More suggestions...
Fingers crossed that one of those helps you.
I think you've pointed yourself in the right direction. Development and acquisitions are two of the more common exit ops. You get a great deal of exposure to CRE transactions on the lending side and especially if you're early in your career it should be straightforward to pivot to those other roles you're interested in.
Agreed with the above. Your transaction experience with construction and multiple-asset classes should make either exits possible, especially at the analyst/associate level. A debt fund would be another logical transition.
I'm 5 years in at a bank doing CRE lending. If you know you're interested in making the jump I wouldn't wait too long. I shopped around this summer and found that at my level of YOE it's a weird spot switching from a bank to REPE/development: at the bank, I'm an AVP and past the modeling/excel/analyst phase and doing more originations, business development, negotiating deals etc. (which I love, don't get me wrong). But 5 YOE at an REPE or Development shop seems to translate more to Associate or something where you're still expected to have solid modeling chops (mine are rusty). Obviously you can always brush up on the technicals, but it almost seemed like a step back (in terms of job functions/responsibilities....obviously pay ceiling would be a step forward on the equity side)
