Master’s in Real Estate - Careers?

I know there are a ton of posts about MSREDs/Master’s of Real Estate, but I was hoping to get some updated information now that the degree seem to be much more popular.

What are some of the positions people get out of MIT, Harvard, Columbia, Cornell, Georgetown, USC, NYU, etc.? I know megafund PE acquisitions is a lot to ask for (although I know Blackstone interviews at some these programs), but how’s placement into top development shops, REPE asset management groups, lifeco and bank lending groups, and/or REITs?

I’ve been trying to move from a lending group to REPE AM for a while, but it’s been years and it doesn’t look like it’s happening. Hoping a higher degree could do the trick.

An objective and data-centric place to start would be to dig into LinkedIn (I believe they allow unlimited profile browsing as per trial offer for 1 month) and do a great volume of searches for each academic program and see what pre and post graduate employment outcomes and trends appear.
