I’m done with RE, but where to next? HSW JD/MBA, McKinsey background
I’ll preface this by saying that I have been quite fortunate in my career and life path, but am longing for more. Any advice on where to look would be immensely helpful. TLDR: I’m fed up with real estate, and am looking to pivot (industry/role agnostic), just looking to optimize lifestyle and pay.
I’m a VP in mid-sized REPE shop - work and pay are alright… but frankly I don’t think the juice is worth the squeeze as to what I really value. I’m also fed up with various aspects of the industry and how it operates (I know, each industry has their issues) - the need for significant capital to go out on your own, slow investment pace, entrenched relationships, etc. and let’s face it - the finance oriented roles don’t pay nearly as much as other industry counterparts.
So what is it that I really value? Frankly, I don’t care at all about the actual work, whether it’s mind-numbingly monotonous or intellectual stimulating, or whether it’s in the sanitation industry or tech. I’m optimizing for lifestyle and comp (NPV of career pivot as well), and don’t know where to start…
I’d think with my background (JD/MBA at HSW I went to McKinsey for several years, then real estate PE) I’d be afforded some good opportunities, but don’t know what I should even be looking at.
I’m in my early 30s, and after a lot of soul searching I’ve realized that real estate isn’t for me, in large part due to the fact that the real money is made going out on your own, and I don’t have that type of capital/connections/etc.
Kind of at a loss and going through it, would appreciate anything you have to offer.
