I know it’s typically the other way around but wondering if anyone has gone down the route of principal side firm to REIB?
I never worked in IB (was in CRE brokerage before landing at a big principal side firm) but am tempted to give it a shot post MBA due to the pay. Post MBA seems to be the best timing for doing this so that’s why I’m contemplating it but open to hear suggestions on how bad of an idea this is.

How much do you make in your current role? What do you want to be doing in your 40s?
most people who do REIB just exit to REPE or a reit. So it’s no pay for a couple years, elevated pay for a couple years and then back to where you were?
It doesn’t really make sense unless you’re prepared to grind out IB for a decade and try to exit at c suite level or your current role totally sucks and wouldn’t allow you to lateral to a higher paying REPE role
~$160k all-in MCOL in an associate role. Idea would be post mba, 2 years in REIB, either promotion to VP or back to the principal side in a VP equivalent role.
I know my comp is good now but the raises are ~5% and the promotion bumps aren’t very large (10-15%). Hoping by leaving post mba I’d be able to get to the $250k range and scale from there
I’d like to be in my same role but leading the team in my 40s. Just don’t want a slowly growing total comp for the next 20 years. Would rather fast track it a bit somehow
