IB to MSRE to REPE?
Hello everyone, I am interested in making the switch from boutique IB to an MSRE program, (Georgetown, NYU, Johns Hopkins, maybe Columbia.)
My question is, with zero real estate experience, will I be able to network into an REPE or transaction firm?
Pre-MSRE, yes, but doable.
Post-MSRR, very doable.

I don’t know those programs well enough. I’d throw Cornell’s program on this list though. I went there UG and took some of the baker classes, which were amazing.

I recommend trying to get into REPE without the MSRE first. I don't think an MSRE will help you that much more given your background at a boutique IB. Just make sure you know the terminology for real estate (NOI, cap rate, etc...)
Generally would agree with this but emphasize knowing real estate terminology and processes as much as possible. I know a few IB people who came over to RE and stumbled a bit at first because they didn't truly understand the nuances. It's not rocket science as you've seen on prior posts but certainly important to have knowledge of the business.
I don't think an MSRE would hurt, especially given the connections you'll make. Worth a shot to do without it though if you can. Will save you a bunch of money.
