Graduated 2017. Had opportunities in consulting, commercial banking, and real estate. Gambled on real estate route by starting in back office role. After ~2.5 months in BO, transitioned to more "front office" analyst role. Did that for ~18 months before a recruiter got in touch and recently (less than 6 mo) made the switch to a solid developer.

In short, did good work and asked to move. BO role was internship/co-op over the summer (May-August). By mid-July I had finished all of the work that I was given so after that I went about asking for more work / side-projects that I could help folks out with. I met with senior managers in both BO & FO about future opportunities and roles. The FO analyst team got slammed towards the end of August so the company realized that I was basically twiddling my thumbs in BO, and they put me to work with the FO guys. After the crazy period ended, I was offered the chance to stick around and prove myself.
Real Estate Analyst is the title. Role consisted of underwriting/analyzing commercial real estate. I would be the bridge between our brokers and our investors, doing my best to provide the investor(s) with solely the facts, as apart from regurgitating the broker's sales pitch (read: bullshit). Tasks: underwriting & sizing deals, managing/doing all credit/risk work, and writing the legal commitment letter.
