Thoughts on Singapore / SE Asia

Hey fellas,

Any of you with work experience or interactions with firms anywhere in the real estate spectrum in Singapore?

Seems to be that SE Asia is on the tip of a lot of (more opportunistic) investors' tongues with the slowdown/uncertainty in China and the continued mess in Europe and the US. Interested to hear what people think/have heard about Singapore and Southeast Asia in terms of investment activity (who & where), career opportunities, compensation comparisons to NYC/London, etc.

(I have some thoughts on this as I relocated here in December to break into the industry - specifically targeting REPE - but am interested to see what WSO thinks. I'll contribute with my findings so far as the thread hopefully develops.)

Real Estate Career Roadmap (optional)

“Nick was extremely informative and gave me a lot of solid and practical advice. He answered all of my questions clearly and thoughtfully. I really appreciated that he gave me an actionable plan for how to approach recruiting and developing my career in general. He was very open about sharing his own experiences. He also gave me helpful perspective on how to differentiate myself during the recruiting process and make my conversations with professionals more meaningful. I feel like I have a clearer understanding of what I should focus on and concrete next steps. This was overall a helpful and valuable conversation. ”

Real Estate Mock Interview

“Nick was fantastic. He didn’t just glance at my resume and give me generic advice—he explained exactly why it wasn’t telling the story I wanted it to tell, then helped me figure out how to fix it. He pushed me to be more intentional about how I talk about my experience and gave me concrete steps to prepare for interviews, from tailoring my resume to practicing financial modeling. I also appreciated how candid he was. When I asked about real estate capital markets versus sales and trading, he gave me his honest opinion while being clear about his own perspective. He shared interview guides, answered all my questions, and offered to do a more detailed mock interview if I move forward with JLL. I left with a lot of work to do, but also a much clearer idea of how to do it. I’d absolutely recommend talking with Nick.”
