Real Estate Advisory vs analyst
Im a Junior Accounting/Real Estate double major from a target school. I recently accepted an offer for a summer internship at a Big 4 firm in Real Estate Advisory. I know its not the most attractive RE job however I had no prior real estate experience (i decided last semester that I wanted to pursue real estate) so I thought it would be best to accept that offer and not risk being left without a RE internship for the summer. I eventually want to get into Acquisitions. My question is should I apply for full time acquisitions role (interviews are during the internship) or should I focus on securing a full time offer from the Big 4 firm? Also how valuable do you think a Real Estate Advisory internship would be on my resume when applying for these positions? (I also recently got all 3 levels of the REFM certification and a Real Estate Finance and Investments certification)
Thought I would reply as I was in a similar position this past fall as a senior. I did a corporate banking internship the summer before and it wasn’t real estate related. Recruited successfully and landed at large real estate investment manager/repe. So I would say it’s not super late to do this and you’ll probably be looked upon favorably with that internship.
The internship will look when applying for analyst roles at principal shops, no reason to eliminate from your strategy/plan. You can use the Big 4 as the safety job, but real estate advisory exposure at a big 4 will be viewed favorably. Remember this is just a summer internship, not a career branding or track decision.
Thanks
