How long to stay at your “foot in the door” job
Work history: finance undergrad, 1 year as business analyst, 3 years at a company doing Corp finance, 2 years into a financial analyst on dev team at a CRE (LP side). This job I’m in now is what I’ve always viewed as my foot in the door job. My end goal is to end up as a development manager so I’m starting to plan my next move because I don’t realistically see any opportunities to lateral or move up at my own company. I’ve started passively looking at jobs and noticed many applications say 3-5 years relevant experience, which I technically have but only 2 within CRE. So should I wait another year then try to look seriously? I don’t want to get dinged for something like this. Also I know this has been on here but any tips for trying to get a dev associate job in general? Found a dream job opening but I honestly am scared to apply bc I feel like I’m not gonna get it and don’t want to hurt any future chances there.
If you don’t see yourself at your company long term, apply for jobs early and often. There’s no need to stick around
Will companies see that I don’t have the minimum 3 years of CRE experience and immediately dismiss me though?
No, thats not a huge deal in any job market but especially this one.
