How to get into Asian REPE or RE IB while coming from Europe?

Hey guys,

Will be pursuing a Masters in Real Estate Finance at Cambridge next year (MPhil REF), after which I would like to go to Asia to commence my career. I will have 2 M&A internships at globally renowned firms (T2 bank & Big 4), one in lev. finance at a local renowned bank and I would like to use these experiences, combined with my Cambridge degree, to find a job in Asia in REPE / RE IB.

Do any of you know how I can best approach this desire to move and work to Asia? Anything I can already work on prior to enrolling in Cambridge that will enhance my odds of landing there?

Cheers guys, really appreciate any answers!

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.”
