Looking to change careers from Private Wealth Management to CRE
I am currently working in the PWM world specifically in Trusts. I also have experience as a credit analysis. I just got accepted to GSU CRE masters program. I am just wondering what I can expect after completing my Masters. My undergraduate degree is in Economics, and haven’t really made use of it. I am just hoping I’m not throwing my money away, because all the experience I have in CRE comes from working for PWM. I have no experience in it, but I do find it a lot more interesting than trusts. I have a family so working 60-80 hours a week as an analyst isn’t going to work for me.
