RE Alert?
appreciate this! where do you find these updates?
This is Green street’s commercial mortgage alert. They also have a “real estate alert.”
100% useful!
In Addition, there is an Analyst/Associate posting for McCourt Global. This was from my network.
Thank you!
I found your posting helpful, thanks for sharing.
I'm trying to break into the industry, have my MRED, along with a previous career (with transferrable skills) and it's been difficult to get over the line since I only have "case-study experience." I'll gladly take any job lead
What market are you in?
west coast/ so cal
Would you say this has been a common experience among your classmates?
Considering doing an MRED to relocate to the US but it makes me a bit nervous if there’s a chance of not securing a job post-grad (and associated visa).
Everyone in my cohort landed prior to graduating or shortly post. I don't know everyone in the following cohort, but it's my understanding that everyone landed eventually, and any challenges were due to difficult industry conditions in general.
I'm a very atypical candidate as I have a prior career. Firms either don't know where to put me because I am experienced, or think I'll outgrow a role quickly and jump ship (their words, not mine). However, I'm honestly not concerned with juking & climbing to go title chasing. Or, if my experience isn't viewed as a negative, I lose out to candidates with 3-5 years' experience. It's frustrating, but it's a tough market and I'm sure there's people who have it far worse.
Depending on where you're considering your MRED, I would think your job prospects would be strong, especially if JLL is already on your resume. Obviously it depends on which job market you're targeting, and how strong the University's network & connections are
Is it just me, or are there still few-to-no postings in LA/NYC? Recognize NYC is better, but SoCal seems absolutely dead. As someone who's anxious, may have to hunker down at this rate and save the NYC --> LA move for next year.
nyc is also dead. Lot of ghost posts unfortunately.
Your doing gods work here…
Now if you could miraculously find those VP level roles for acquisitions… you’d really be the messiah
Recently got sent a "partner"-level role (essentially SVP) with a well-known multifamily owner/operator who has traditionally focused on development. Expanding out their acq platform nationwide and this role would cover the entire western half of the US. Value-add to core plus, capitalized on a deal-by-deal basis (though they have a history of strong blue-chip institutional sponsors on their dev deals).
Agnostic to home base location, but would prefer if in one of those western markets. I've sold them deals and we routinely compete with them on dev. Sharp group and culture seems to be pretty good from what I can tell.
DM me if any interest and can let you know who to talk to
Can you DM me on this role?

I recently pivoted my career path and completed an internship as an Acquisitions & Development Intern in senior housing. While I gained valuable experience in underwriting, financial modeling, and market analysis, I’m finding it challenging to secure full-time entry-level roles in real estate investment, development, or asset management.
Given that I made the industry switch within the past year, I’d appreciate any advice on breaking into the field with my current experience in a stronger way since I will be graduating this spring. Thanks in advance!
You're an intern....you didn't break into anything yet. You still have time to pivot.
It is very challenging to find a job for experienced people. Frankly CRE won't be as "hot" as it was years ago. Not to say it won't be a good asset class.
That’s why I was asking for advice on how to break into the industry
Yea largely agree although the market seems to be turning. My guess is 2H ‘25 will be better for hiring
