RE Asset Management or Big4 RE transaction as first job

Hey guys,

I am finishing up my undergrad (In Europe) and wonder which of these jobs would be better to start of a career in Real Estate which ideally will land me in REPE (London/New York) down the line.

Real Estate Asset Management with a good european bank (Deutsche Bank, UBS etc.)

Big 4 Transactions Real Estate. This would be a graduate rotation with stops in M&A, valuation and Real Estate Consulting (Not really sure what that unit does).

What are your opinions/feelings?

Thank you very much for the advice!
