MBA to leave RE?
Has anyone had any success using an MBA to transition into another industry outside of real estate? I realize that asking in a real estate forum is going to limit my sample, but I figured it was still the best place.
I went into real estate investment at a smaller shop ($300mm) because I liked the idea of having frequent exposure to the partners in the hopes of one day opening my own firm. I spent two years in big 4 audit beforehand, and while I never want to work in accounting again, I honestly miss client service and learning how different companies work. I liked digging into the details of how multinational companies run internally more than I like digging through leases, site analysis, etc.
I actually think I'd be ok being a lifer in consulting or IB (client service with perceived, if not actual, value-add). Would the real estate background limit my recruiting opportunities, or can I truly reset with an MBA? I'd love to hear from someone who went through the process.
People use an MBA to switch careers all the time. Consulting is the most popular industry at most of the top schools. I would recommend going MBA (but only a good program) if you want to work at MBB level firm.
