MSRE worth it

Analyst coming up on 1 year in acquisitions at a owner/operator. Our deal team is super lean, so while it’s my first job out of college I’ve gotten a lot of live deal experience already. It’s a good shop but naturally I’m starting to think about my next move in 1-2 years as my firm doesn’t pay well and had a question- worth it to do an MSRE? I hold an accounting degree from a crappy UG (think SUNY level) and while real estate isn’t as prestige obsessed as Wall Street I can tell people aren’t overtly impressed with my academic credentials. I’ve flagged it as something that could hold me back.

Would it add credibility if I stacked a more prestigious school on top of my undergrad with an MSRE? I know MBA is better resume builder but if I’m already working on transactions I don’t know if basically taking two years off to come back to the same role is worth it.

 

Stay where youre at and send out resumes to jobs you want. It's literally that simple.
