Anyone know of any or would be willing to network... Fall 2022 Opportunities Lost
Hi, I am currently a rising junior in NYC who has decided against going against a SWE route and into CRE. I have been doing some self studying like the REFM 1, 2, and 3 course and ideally, I want to get into an acquisitions role in the future after talking to people in the industry. I [heard that sell-side](https://www.wallstreetoasis.com/resources/skills/finance/sell-side) is much easier to break into and was wondering if anyone knew of any opportunities for the Fall. What should I be doing right now as my [summer internship](https://www.wallstreetoasis.com/internship-survival-guide-overview) has nothing to do with CRE and am stressed as I have no relevant experience in the field. Should I practice underwriting properties from crexi and loopnet and show my interest in this way? Thank you! 
[{"id": "iecy7bd", "text": "I wouldnt stress, I would just try and get an internship in RE for next summer. I also wouldnt spend too much time underwriting deals. While having familiarity with a DCF is good, youll end up learning it on the job within a month. I would really focus on keeping track of current trends in the industry. This means reading news articles and tracking big deals that go on in the industry. Your goal should be able to have an intellectual conversation with  someone in the industry and give a thesis on the asset class you are interested in. Although a little outdated, I really liked [https://behindthedeals.com/](https://behindthedeals.com/) for deal analysis as well. It is a shame that they stopped posting.\n\nYoull be fine man, I remember going through the same process, and while it is stressful, remember to enjoy your last couple years in college. You have the rest of the your life to worry about work ;)\n\nFeel free to PM me if you have further questions.", "replies": [], "depth": 1}, {"id": "ied0d9r", "text": "Figure out what area/niche you are interested and start networking. NYU is a great real estate school with a solid network and you should utilize that.  \n\nUnderwriting crexi properties and getting comfortable modeling is a great start.", "replies": [], "depth": 1}]
