RE at a Tech Company?
I have the opportunity to join a global pre-ipo tech company as a Real Estate/Portfolio Analyst. I have a traditional RE fund background so this would be quite the change for me, but compensation will be 40-60% better (depending on bonus) with additional stock. The job will focus on managing the company office portfolio, lease admin, acquisitions/disposals etc.
Question is, has anyone any experience from a similar role? It is obviously a risky move since moving back to more traditional RE could be hard, but the bump in pay is hard to resist. I have interviews coming with a huge and well known REPE fund, but not sure if I want to take the risk of trying for the REPE role when already having an offer in hand.

I suppose I’d need to know more about the position and the company to give advice. Why does a “global pre-IPO tech company” have an office portfolio, for instance?
I think there would be a lot of opportunity out there building new stores for Apple or new datacenters for Amazon, but I don’t know enough about this one to say.
