Q&A: Associate at RE focused DCM/CF boutique and investment analyst at in house REIT

Thought I'd do a Q&A in case it is useful to anyone. I'm an associate at a boutique IB, with a focus on debt (as well as some more standard financial advisory work) and with a particular focus on the real estate sector. We also have an in-house REIT where I do investment analysis work. My work involves a lot of financial modelling as well, so happy to answer any questions around that. Been at this role over 1.5 years, closing in on 2. Background prior to that was Big Four corp fin and audit, detailed here: https://www.wallstreetoasis.com/forums/i-went-b4-…
