How to being a top-bucket analyst in MF REPE
Hey everyone,
I wanted to hear your thoughts on how to be a valuable analyst if you skipped banking and secured a role in RE AM at a MF. Is there anything I can do in advance in terms of learning modeling techniques, reading specific books, etc.
Does anyone have an idea of expectations in the industry and how steep the learning curve is when you start?
Thank you!
You will have some leeway if you are coming in as an analyst. But the more you understand and the quicker you can do tasks effectively the better off you will be.
we hired someone at the associate level and it’s clear they should’ve come in as an analyst. That is a bad situation for everyone…don’t recommend it.
Can you give examples on why you feel they should have came in at the analyst level?
Not OP, but typically its a lack of deal experience - they might be good at the numbers/modeling but not have a good grasp of the deal process and the qualitative side of investing (can't speak to AM). This can happen if their past experience was at shops with low deal flow (developers, REPE firms who have deployed most of their capital and haven't closed their next raise, etc.).
