Real_Estate knowledge more of an asset as e.g. IB
Hi,
I have two questions, that might not really deserve seperated threads. Therefore I will list both under one topic. Pardon in advance.
I tried to learn some things about LBO's and Financial Modeling in the recent weeks and therefore tried to find out which direction to choose for my future working career. Soon I realized, that an entry from univerity to Private-Equity is not very likely. But in the same article it was stated, that (altough very tough as well) a way through Real-Estate would be a bit more likely. Is the work in the two fields mentioned comparable?
Isn't knowledge in Real-Estate (Modeling) much of a bigger asset for oneself in comparison to other fields in the financial sectotor? The tought process behind this question was, that e.g. if someone who works in M&A loses his job, he will have a hard time to use his profficiency without an employment. But someone with a profciency in Real-Estate (Modeling) would be able to generate money on his own even without a job, would't he? No offense to anybody from IB, and surely I am simplifying the szenario a lot. It's just a thought process on undergraduate level..
