Hey guys,
Currently struggling with the decision to leave right away or stick in my current job for another year.
For background:
I've been working as an investments analyst for a NY/LDN Equity L/S HF (AuM >1b USD) for just above 1 year. While the fund is based in a major city, my office (and most of my team) is in a secondary city.
My PM is focused on the Business Development side of the business (all about AuM) after we had solid performances over last 3-4 years, so my experience hasn't been very insightful, and I've stalled in terms of learning.
Furthermore, I'm looking to move into the Real Estate industry for a variety of reasons (better worklife balance, not working with public markets, assets are more interesting to me), so continuing in markets has the feeling I'll be pigeonholed.
So basically I feel I have 2 options:
Option 1:
Stick it out for another year, to have the 2 year stamp, then leave for an associate level position (possibly doing a MSRE in the process)
Advantages: still a semi-prestigious position
Disadvantages: learning isn't on par with top shops; not in RE
Option 2:
Find an entry-level position now as an analyst in any CRE shop, preferably in REPE or a large brokerage.
Advantages: still have the learning of an entry-level position; go through the nuts and bolts of modelling in RE
Disadvantages: unclear if I can find a very prestigious position, especially given I have very little RE-related experience
Thank you very much for reading so far and for your comments on this!
