Is this job a career pitfall?
Hi all,
I live and work in an 18-hour city and just started working at a large RE asset manager in an acquisitions/asset management hybrid role. I have past experience at a small-medium REPE firm with several asset classes, but decided to leave to get promised experience on different asset classes and exposure to more deal-side activity since I was in a pure AM role at my past job.
It's been almost a year, and what I've discovered about my new job is (A) the deal pipeline is far less robust than I would have hoped, keeping me tied to mainly AM work (B) I've been pigeon-holed into one asset, (C) my new boss is objectively verbally abusive, my coworkers did not acknowledge or warn me until shortly after beginning here. C is less of an issue, as I've just grown thicker skin, but it certainly won't keep me here any longer than I have to be.
I know A is very bad, and I'm already looking for new options but is B something to be concerned about given I have 5 years of experience? And how long is too long when you've been relegated to doing deep dives on a single asset class before doors suddenly start closing and your future is now tied to that product?
I've noticed fewer and fewer jobs online for "generalist" AM and acquisitions jobs, it may be totally anecdotal but it does concern me in terms of career mobility.
Thanks.
