Real Estate Career Roadmap (optional)

“Nick was extremely informative and gave me a lot of solid and practical advice. He answered all of my questions clearly and thoughtfully. I really appreciated that he gave me an actionable plan for how to approach recruiting and developing my career in general. He was very open about sharing his own experiences. He also gave me helpful perspective on how to differentiate myself during the recruiting process and make my conversations with professionals more meaningful. I feel like I have a clearer understanding of what I should focus on and concrete next steps. This was overall a helpful and valuable conversation. ”

Real Estate Mock Interview

“Nick was fantastic. He didn’t just glance at my resume and give me generic advice—he explained exactly why it wasn’t telling the story I wanted it to tell, then helped me figure out how to fix it. He pushed me to be more intentional about how I talk about my experience and gave me concrete steps to prepare for interviews, from tailoring my resume to practicing financial modeling. I also appreciated how candid he was. When I asked about real estate capital markets versus sales and trading, he gave me his honest opinion while being clear about his own perspective. He shared interview guides, answered all my questions, and offered to do a more detailed mock interview if I move forward with JLL. I left with a lot of work to do, but also a much clearer idea of how to do it. I’d absolutely recommend talking with Nick.”

More info would help. What's your long term goal? AM or ACQ? Also, what markets/property types will you be working on across both opps? Is the AM role purely AM, or will you get transaction experience as well (dispositions, refinancings, etc)?

Based on what you wrote, I'd go with the first path. Brand is better, and the firm will probably have more sophisticated processes and systems. You'll most likely build a stronger foundation there (knowledge and network). The challenge with this path is if you want to move into ACQ at some point. You can certainly go from AM to ACQ, but from what I've seen it seems like firms want to see some sort of transaction experience for ACQ positions.
