Transitioning from small shop for larger firm
I'm currently a 1st year analyst at a small real estate development firm (GP side, 5 man shop) that mainly focuses on value-add real estate ranging from $50 - $150M. I am the youngest on the team by 15 years, and my roles include acquisitions, asset management and development with a few ad hoc projects on the side.
I enjoy the work and the team and want to stay on the development side (LP/GP side at least), but being only a few months out of college, I fear I may be wasting my youth by only working in 1 market and on 1 asset class while not really being in a client facing/relationship building role. I'm thinking of making a move to a larger firm (anywhere from the size of Hudson Pacific Properties, Trammel Crow, or LPC) where I'd get a lot more deal flow and exposure working on different projects across the country, while also expanding my network by working with people around my age.
Wondering if anyone has been in a similar position / knows anyone who moved from small shop to larger firm and what their experience was with it. Thank you all in advance.
