Data Center REIT Opportunities
Hey everyone! 

Could really appreciate some input. Last week a recruiter reached out about an opportunity working on the FP&amp;A/property management/operations side of a data center REIT. 

Initially, I wasn't too interested as I have more of a transactions /capital markets background but looking into the data center niche it looks incredibly fascinating in terms of assets and growth. 

My question is with a broad real estate background (transaction, leasing and capital markets) would I be able to pivot to working on an acquisition or asset management side of a REIT or once on the property management/operations side of the business will I be stuck there forever? 

My MSRE program starts in a few weeks (executive program taking classes in the evening so I will still be working) and was intending to focus on REPE and institutional Acquisition roles but really intrigued by this niche. 

Any advice greatly appreciated!

I'd probably keep grinding and shoot for an REPE role. You'll be able to pivot out likely if you take it as you still have the transaction experience, but it might be a bit harder.", "replies": [], "depth": 1}]
