Exit strategy after two years -ANALYST VALUTION &amp; Advisory
What type of exits are the most common for someone who have worked as an analyst within VAS for two years? Acquisition, capital markets? I don’t find it realistic for me to continue in the long run as an commercial appraiser as I find it a bit repetitive and also not very creative… would be happy if anyone could share their experience.
[{"id": "iix498d", "text": "I started as a Valuation Analyst at an I-Bank, and transitioned to a major brokerage firm (CBRE / JLL).  I'm assuming you've got great excel skills and a strong base of finance, so you should use that.  \n\nFinance is a great base to have when you want to enter real estate.  That said, a background in appraisal is valuable, so don't ignore it.  If you have the MAI designation, that holds weight as well, and does set you apart.  I know many very successful brokers who started in appraisal and built a career from there.\n\nRemember, real estate at the end of the day is just numbers.  Do I get a return for my investment, and is it proportionate to the risk I am taking.  Valuation does that, so it's very transferrable.", "replies": [], "depth": 1}, {"id": "ij5lomy", "text": "Where do you work? Big four?", "replies": [], "depth": 1}]
