Question

Long time lurker here, first post. Wanted to get advice on a few opportunities I have. I’m younger-ish in my career, looking for reps on the investments team, don’t mind sweating.

Clarion partners - acquisitions

Goldman Sachs  - pia asset management (would like acquisitions but I think this could be good experience)

Macquarie Group - combo of am and acquisitions.

I’ve also got traction at a few small repe firms. In final rounds with a group called wheelock. Pretty indifferent on them though.

Goldman is an easy out despite being the sexiest name. You want deal reps, and asset management at a big corporate place is going to be exactly not that. Name brand seriously does not matter that much in real estate. Deal experience is king when building your resume.

Clarion is a classic old school institutional RE shop. You will likely get solid deal flow here, but one of their biggest investment verticals (office) is basically lifeless at the moment. They're big industrial guys and have that heritage beyond it being the current hot place to find opportunity.

It may be the lowest paying of the three, but doing pure acquisitions at Clarion is likely the best experience. Even if it’s core+ / sleepier deals.

Massive name in real estate + starting out in your desired field can save you 2-3 years of lateraling around to get to where you want to be.

After two years at clarion you should be near the top of the pile of applications for associate roles at the higher paying shops.

I also think you can’t go wrong with Macquarie.
