Interested in Asian REPE/Investment Banking in RE sector - Moving from Europe to Asia

Hello guys,

Throughout my super short career so far I have noticed that I really enjoy the Real Estate industry and Asia. I would love to combine this and either work in REPE or investment banking in the real estate sector post graduation. I currently have 4 internships under my belt, 1 in consulting, 1 in M&A's, 1 in Lev. Finance and 1 in Investment Banking. I will go to a global target school next year for my Masters (its a school in England :)) and thus hope to find a position in Asia afterwards.

I was wondering if anybody has made the transition into REPE/RE IB from Europe to Asia before (or just knows how to do so) and if so, if he/she has any tips for me to successfully do so as well.

I thank you for any input guys, cheers!

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.”
