Exits from REPE

Currently an acquisitions associate at UMM REPE fund. In a great seat at a growing platform with decent WLB. This was my dream two years ago but now that I am here I just don’t feel like the work is that exciting. I’m by no means in a rush to leave but curious where people who left REPE have been able to pivot their careers.

Would love for anyone to share - Why did you leave RE? Where did you go / what did you do? How has your experience been since? Anything you would have done differently?

IMO a great operator can be one of the best positions. I like the more direct incentives for acq team (acq & dispo fees + promote) which I prefer. Potential for higher all in comp depending on your firms economics and if you are a top performer I think it is more likely that you can actually earn that upside. That being said, more cyclical.

 

Voluptatem ut delectus sunt sint dolorum. Et aut fugit nisi autem iure optio. Nesciunt repudiandae voluptas omnis quaerat. Qui labore aliquid incidunt nam quibusdam sed. Officia et iste voluptates voluptatum fugiat.

Sint ut blanditiis sequi tenetur. Sequi ut ad autem incidunt molestiae quae laborum. Maiores aperiam at id repellendus qui reiciendis.

...but is it REPE?
