Real estate internship in London/Paris

Hello everybody,

I m currently a student doing a gap year and I m currently doing an internship as a strategist assistant. However I am realizing that I m not a market driven person and I need something more down to earth. I already had some interviews with JLL or CBRE and had a great time talking with their people. However I would prefer to have an internship in a real estate fund in acquisition (ideally REPE).

What should I do? Have an internship in JLL or one of those firms to have a better understanding of the business and try to break in acquisition later? Try to do IB and go in a fund after that? Or should I try to network my way into one of those funds?

A last question : how is structured finance in a bank seen in the real estate space? Does it provide good exit opps?

Thanks a lot for your help!
