Is Ares good to start a RE career?
My dad's best friend is an MD at Ares for real estate equity. Should I leverage this connection and try and get a 2024 SA position there? Or is it not worth the time?

The nepotism aside, you don’t deserve this role for even just asking this stupid question. Its like asking if an internship at Bx/Apollo is a good start to your Real Estate career. Start informing yourself about the industry you’re supposedly interested in before asking questions.
Sorry my dad is well connected, I’m going to use the connections that I can. You would do it too if you were in my position. Looks like I’m set for next summer.
You are missing the point of my comment. I am not criticizing you for the nepotism (even though it is very criticizable) but for your apparent ignorance of the industry and its biggest and most prestigious players.
Even if your dads best friend is an MD at Ares, they still won’t hire you if you lack basic social skills. Based on this post / your comments, you’ll probably be at a 3rd party loan servicer for the summer
Connections take you farther than you think. Also, nothing's wrong with being a 3rd party loan servicer. I don't know why you have to put other people down just because you're mad at me.
That’s the right mindset, you’re well prepared for your future career!
Connection is important but you also need the necessary skills. If you do then it is a good place.
No
OP you come across as a tool and will wash out if your attitude doesn’t improve before starting.
