Portfolio Management - Tier 1 REPE Thoughts?

Hi All,

I am a senior in college and I received an offer from a tier 1 REPE shop (think Blackstone, Brookfield, Starwood) in their portfolio management arm. Any thoughts on the role and career path?

So, you will be analyst at a major firm, in 2-3 years you can apply for sr. analyst/associate roles pretty much anywhere in the CRE spectrum and get attention. This is more raw skill development, understanding investment mngt and the investment decision process, you are not going to get anywhere close to mastery or be "branded" as a PM person or something. 

If your frim ramps up acquisitions, starts a new fund, etc. you can probably angle for that. If you want to stay on path with the megafunds, you should probably plan out for grad school down the line, pretty much required for advancement in that world.
