Hines does hire SA for FT. I would take Hines IMO.
Since when?
Can confirm. You need to be competent enough to be hired in the first place, and most of the time you need to be lucky in the sense that the office are looking for analysts. Alternatively, you can use your office superiors to sound out offices in other cities to see if they need to hire an analyst
Hines is a on whole other level as JPM. Would not think twice about it and take Hines. People would kill to even interview there.That being said, what are your career aspirations?MMBSI and the corporate client banking team is usually very very credit oriented role and will feel like corporate banking aka pitching credit products. Not sure about the government side but sounds like public finance so mostly likely will be raising capital for towns counties cities etc. IMO that isn't as interesting fun or lucrative as other options and you might get stuck in that job when looking at other options.Hines will probably be very tough but having Hines on the resume is the goal for people working in RE. Everyone talks about working in banking and the exiting to the buyside, Hines is THE BEST EXIT OPP.
If you even have a slightly remote interest in RE…congrats. You have a Hines offer and you’re pretty much set.
Okay thank you so much. I am I govt major so I was looking for something government related but I think I will take Hines since real estate is something I have always been interested in.
Do some more research before accepting or settling on the decision. Follow what you think you’d like the most. Not chase the clout.
Experience and opportunity wise. Hines is better. Just type Hines into the WSO search bar and read what other users have to say.
It’s really hard to get your foot in the door at Hines and once people are there they stay. That why there is rarely spots open. Take Hines.
Just googled JP Morgan MMBSI, sounds awful, this would be the world's biggest and fastest no brainer ever!!!! (caveat... I like real estate development, dislike banking, and you are asking in the real estate forum so you get what you get...)
I'm sure someone would enjoy MMBSI, I just rather not have a beer with them lol
As always, it’s a personal decision. Being an RE person, I would say Hines.
At the end of the day, it’s an internship so the stakes are lower should you not enjoy wherever you decide to go.
I interned the past summer at Hines, but most people in regional teams didn't get a return offer. However, everyone got pretty good FT offers at large REPE funds.
Hines
Yeah that JPM job sounds bad so Hines but they probably hire 10% of interns back as full time. Source: Interned and worked there.
The thing with Hines is they don’t have a structured analyst program. So unfortunately they are not hiring a set number of analysts every year like a lot of other companies do. So as an intern to receive a full time offer it depends on if the team you are working on needs a new analyst in a time frame that lines up with your graduation. Most of the time that doesn’t work out.
however every intern I have worked with that didn’t get hired full time got awesome full time jobs elsewhere.
I still know quite a few people that started as interns, so it’s not impossible to get hired.
