Advices to join RE asset management positions as a RE adviser in Big4
 

Hi;

I'd like to get advices from r/CommercialRealEstate

I'm currentlw working in a Big Four, in western Europe; as assistant manager (or Senior 3), I expect to be promoted to manager in June 2022. I work in real estate advisory; mostly on valuation/reviez of valuation projects/ also a bit of risk management advisory in RE.  
I have 1 year of experience at this job, and was a real estate audit guy before.  
Last important info; I will mandatorily have to work in a audit firm until december 22 to finish my statury auditor qualification.

I'd like to work for a RE/REPE fund.  
Either in asset management / investment management position in one or the other industry.

Do you believe I should start looking ASAP at job openings (to leave as a senior) or should I try to keace as a manager (and end up with a 2nd year in experience in RE advisory)

Thank you
