REOC MF to REPE or Pension Fund?

Back in the job market after working for 4.5 years at a small REOC. Specialized in MF as an Associate in acquisitions and asset management. Primary market was NYC. Daily responsibilities were hybrid acquisitions and project-based AM due to how lean the shop was. Reported to the Principal.

Working for an operator, I have a lot of practical exposure but I worry that I may be lacking the traditional and maybe even technical type of experience (i.e. different asset classes/strategies).

I have a BSc from a top B-school. I wouldn't mind a change of scenery so I'd be open to a different city/market like TX.

  1. What are my chances at an Associate role at either a REPE or Pension Fund?
  2. Is it a lateral move or is it easier to target a Sr. Analyst role?
  3. What's more competitive? Acquisitions or AM?
  4. Any gap in knowledge I'll have to worry about in terms of interviews and performance after transition? I'm already expecting having to do a refresher course on Office/Retail models on ARGUS.
