Considering working for Sands Investment Group after I graduate. Can someone provide an overview on their reputation and possible exit opportunities?
I have an offer from them and am curious if anyone has anything to say in regard to their rep and any details they could provide on the company.

I interviewed extensively with them for an analyst role which I passed on for an opportunity at one of the big firms (JLL,CBRE,C+W). The office in the southeast (smaller city) seemed cliquey and\u2026kind of the B team. \n\nWhat I\u2019ve heard through friends on the brokerage side is that brokerage gigs there aren\u2019t so bad- it\u2019s a lot of inbound referrals etc. \n\nI personally am now in industrial so it wouldn\u2019t have been my thing anyway.

It's hard to get started without good guidance and someone that can help you close. Wherever you go, just make sure whoever is going to be your Senior, is a top producer and someone you vibe with, cause you'll be spending alotta hours together. Always be available to your Senior!
