Bump because I am interested as well - I started as a CRE Analyst and work in Underwriting now. I'm sure there's someone on this forum with some insight
Analyst —> Underwriter —> Deputy Chief Underwriter (name will vary from firm to firm, basically a guy who manages underwriters)
That’s pretty much it. Underwriters are basically very experienced analysts. Analysts help out the underwriters with the more basic / easy stuff. Credit committee and deputy chief underwriters make high level decisions about what is / isn’t okay on certain deals and adjusting loan metrics accordingly.
If you want to leave the credit side after a couple of years, I’ve seen every move made. Acquisitions, asset management, debt funds, REITs etc.
To add onto this there's also a relationship manager loan originator career path that's more sales oriented
Thanks for this - I'm really interested in working in acquisitions for a REIT or a CRE Group, do you have any insights as to the best way to break in? I was thinking MBA for some time, but I've found that many on this forum think a MSRE or MBA may be an expensive way to break in and networking could potentially get you there if you sell yourself right and know the right modeling. Thoughts?
