How to work CRE debt in London for a year then move back internally to US?

Have 3 years of CRE underwriting experience at a top lender. Trying to land a job at a US company in London for a year, and then transfer back internally to the US; Has anyone heard of anyone doing that or think it could be done? Target companies would be CBRE, JLL, C&W etc.

I went through this same process. All the major brokerages will not send you out there or sponsor your visa unless your very senior.

HFF has two younger American guys but their hybrid-producer types and were hand chosen by senior management.

Eastdil has 3 Americans I believe but again, they were sent out to help build out the business abroad.

 

I think unless it is with your current company it is near impossible (IE, express interest in moving abroad to your team and they try and make it happen). Too many risks moving abroad to a completely different culture, etc.
