Prestige isn’t a thing in real estate, take that talk over to the IB forum. 

Real estate firms are so varied - in their culture, assets they work on, strategies, etc. It’s about deciding what you want out of your career - from both a work & life aspect - and then targeting firms that align with those values. It’s not all about angling for a gig at BX.
