Apply to financial analyst roles. The earlier in your career, the better your chances.

Try to tailor your resume towards it. Anything that points to budgeting, variance analysis, modeling, ad-hoc analysis, business partnering... You'll get a shot eventually.

I have over 12 years in B2B sales/sales management experience along with a graduate degree. I am wanting to shift gears and I am at a point where I can invest time in myself to learn through practical experience. The new industry I am wanting to pursue is real estate investment. I have read all the books but want some hands on experience on the property management side. How could I best leverage my skills for a role in this, and what should my expectations be for negotiation in compensation?
