Just did this after 3.5 yrs n Finance/ Ops tech consulting. Took me 14 months. Network with as many people as you possibly can. Coffee/ lunch, phone calls, and apply to everything you can on LinkedIn

Maybe try lateraling into RE consulting first, just to get some relevant experience. If not, a lot of shops hire new people into underwriting roles to train them up. You’d likely take a pay cut though. Otherwise maybe grad school?

What type of work do you do as a real estate consultant?

DM if you’d like

I’m in the exact same boat - almost 2 years out of college and currently a consultant in financial services space. I want to move into CRE in NYC but dont want to take a pay cut. What did you end up doing?
