Real Estate competing job offers Atlanta out of college
I will be graduating in December from a large southern state school with a major in Real Estate and am mulling competing offers. One is from a large real estate services company (think JLL, C&W, HFF, CBRE) as an analyst, while the other is from a regional development shop (think LPC, Cousins, Majestic Realty Co, Carter) also as an analyst. Both are in Atlanta (where I'm from and will stay long term) and the comp packages are similar so I'm pretty torn. I'm mainly concerned about what will give me the most options moving forward and which looks best on a resume. Also if anyone is familiar with the difference in cultures between both options it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and I'd love to hear y'alls thoughts.
Analyst” doesn’t really tell us anything about what your responsibilities are or what division you are in at the services firm. For the services firm it all depends on your team, which division you’re in, and their clients / what types of deals you’ll be working on.
Also cousins is a REIT while the others are developers. Unless you’re specifically on cousins development team, the job will be different there compared the other three. Cousins would probably be better if you want REPE down the road. It’s overall a really well known and respected place, especially in Atlanta.
If you want to be a developer rather than handle acquisitions for REPE funds (two fairly different jobs, search this forum to learn the difference) a development guy will have to chime in to separate those three firms you listed. @CRE works in Atlanta for a developer - I bet he can help.
