Where to go from here? Lateral Question
I am currently an "RE Associate", one level under Manager, at a $1B Big Box Retail Co. (Burlington, Ross, etc.). Previously, I worked in IB (M&A) for 1.5 years and then was a Financial Analyst at this Company doing General FP&A work with some RE responsibility (site packages / pro forma's) for ~2 years. I am in a spot now where I may need to leave the Company within the next year, but I want to stay in RE, not go back to Finance. What are my best lateral opportunities: brokerage, development, REPE, REIB, etc.? Should I try to lateral to a RE Manager role with only 6 - 12 months of true RE focus under my belt?
Buckets where i would think you're experience is very valuable. Wouldnt do REIB or brokerage at this stage of your career.
Thanks for the reply, this is helpful!
Are these in order of what your personal lateral preferences would be? If so, could you give me a bit of color on why?
Also, why not brokerage? I have been interested in brokerage, but it feels like if you don't have the relationships already developed then you are really starting from the bottom either way. Is that why?
No I would prefer 3 or 4 at this point in my career. The in house at retailers as you know is very laid back and great wlb, and relatively interesting if you are involved with chasing deals and doing corporate strategy. Preferred developers you could make the most money assuming they have a robust pipline. REPEs and REITs can be hit or miss depending on the company.
Yes brokerage you would have to start over unless you get lucky, assuming you don't have any relationships now.
Sorry, I should have been more clear. I meant your preferences, as in what you would suggest for me. I am only in my mid-20s for reference
