Future opportunities

Hello everyone I’m looking for advise on the future of my career. I’m currently a CRE underwriter for a MM bank in the Southeast, and after spending 2years at my job I’m starting to think about my future. As an UW, I’ve originated a lot of loans (term, construction, syndicated) on all product types, and I have managed a portfolio of more than $650MM loans. Although I love my current job I just think I’m undervalued/paid and I’m thinking about moving somewhere else. I have found other UW jobs in the Northeast and east for BB… however I don’t think I want to be an UW all my life. I do think that UWs have a lot of soft and hard skills that are very transferable so I’m wondering what are different exit opportunities? I’ll love to hear from someone who has had similar career bath… or anyone with good advice honestly. I’ll have to add that I’m thinking about going to pursue my MBA in 2 years and maybe switching to REPE? Maybe acquisitions? Just want some advice or career paths…. Thanks everyone and please be gently

Real Estate Career Roadmap (optional)

“Nick was extremely informative and gave me a lot of solid and practical advice. He answered all of my questions clearly and thoughtfully. I really appreciated that he gave me an actionable plan for how to approach recruiting and developing my career in general. He was very open about sharing his own experiences. He also gave me helpful perspective on how to differentiate myself during the recruiting process and make my conversations with professionals more meaningful. I feel like I have a clearer understanding of what I should focus on and concrete next steps. This was overall a helpful and valuable conversation. ”

Real Estate Mock Interview

“Nick was fantastic. He didn’t just glance at my resume and give me generic advice—he explained exactly why it wasn’t telling the story I wanted it to tell, then helped me figure out how to fix it. He pushed me to be more intentional about how I talk about my experience and gave me concrete steps to prepare for interviews, from tailoring my resume to practicing financial modeling. I also appreciated how candid he was. When I asked about real estate capital markets versus sales and trading, he gave me his honest opinion while being clear about his own perspective. He shared interview guides, answered all my questions, and offered to do a more detailed mock interview if I move forward with JLL. I left with a lot of work to do, but also a much clearer idea of how to do it. I’d absolutely recommend talking with Nick.”
