Is it hiring time?

Question

Hey everyone, I am currently a senior graduating in May with a degree in finance. I am in the midst of the job search solely looking to enter the real estate industry and have been networking with anyone and everyone over the past 6 months.

Does anyone have any insight on what companies are looking to hire at this point in time for recent UG?
Do you have any advice on the best approaches/people to contact directly?

If your company is hiring and looking for someone who is smart and enjoys the grind, PM me and I would appreciate the opportunity to introduce myself. Thanks.

Real Estate firms typically hire on an "as-needed" basis I.e. if an analyst leaves or is getting a promotion, they'll look to bring someone in    (as opposed to other industries like investment banking who have set recruiting cycles). That said, hiring in Real Estate can be a bit random, but the bulk of hiring activity begins around the time bonuses are given (February/March) as people move around from firm to firm after their bonus check is cashed and openings become available.

Be prepared for this process to take a long time. Don't shy away from taking an internship after graduating. It can buy you some time while looking for the right landing spot, and I personally know many people that didn't get their full-time gig until the fall or even following spring after graduation and most are in great spots now. Anecdotally, both of my job searches while in the industry have taken 6 months - 1 year.
