Offer to go to AM but I like M&A
Hello guys
Have been working at a generalist M&A team for just 4 months right after undergrad and I really like working here, my team is great, I am learning a lot, I like to think that I am a good intern since I constantly get staffed with more and more important tasks, I have been approached by the MD several times because he likes me and he gives me some interesting challenges (this has happened 2/3 times) and I even have been taken to a client meeting once. Thus, I am quite happy at my current role and I am looking forward to get promoted (to analyst)
I have been contacted by a Real Estate AM with USD +10 billions of AUM, had an interview and received an offer. I am thinking about accepting it because my plans were to do IB 3-5 years and then move to the buy-side and I have always loved RE. The conditions are incredibly good, however, I didn't know I would like working at M&A this much... Given my lack of experience I would love to hear any suggestions on what to do?
- Is it too soon to move to AM?
- What do the exit opps look like after working at AM?
I really think I need experience before moving into AM (which is what I want in the long term) but the conditions are great and its tempting me...
Thanks in advance
