Real Estate Finance Career

Hi all, it's my first post on WallStreetOasis so I hope not to do or say something wrong. I am graduating this summer with a Bachelor's degree (on time) in Business Administration and Corporate Finance from a Tier 1 Europe University.

I have almost 1 year of internship experience as an intern analyst in a Real Estate Asset Management boutique and almost 3 months of experience in another internship (similar role) in the Real Estate Investment Management department of a bank among the top 3 European banks.

I know it can depend on a lot of factors, but how likely is in my conditions to be able to land a position in the Real Estate Investment Management department of BB such as JP/MS/GS or of a big PE as Blackstone/KKR/Carlyle?
Are they unreachable or I am on the right path? What should I do to increase my chances?

Would you suggest I do a master's degree?

The pay in High Finance Real Estate is as good as in Investment Banking depts? And what about the hours a week?

Thanks in advance
