good luck, I don’t think it’s a bad move at all if you are willing to put in the work. I know a guy pulling in high six figures and has been for at least 5 years now, and he’s not even 30 yet.

I hope you don’t end up coming back to audit after a few months. Not trying to be mean. But it’s hard starting out as a realtor. Takes time to hold up reputation and network.

What level are you

That’s awesome good luck !

There's other things you can do with an accounting degree besides audit. I personally wouldn't want a job whose pay was dependent on making a sale, but if your personality is a match for that then go for it

Good for you! Had a friend that quit engineering and became a broker. Definitely hard work but doable.

You definitely don’t need to quit your job to get your RE license

If you mean an mba with emphasis in real estate to work in repe or a reit that’s one thing. You mean to be a realtor, oh boy

the worst time to do this

Working on some law firm applications tonight and it sucks that I know that I am so capable and have a strong work ethic but firms can’t see beyond grades or the fact that I didn’t go to a t14 law school or prestigious undergrad. I’ve worked twice as hard and feel like I’ve barely even gotten half as much. It’s discouraging sometimes especially because I worked so hard with pretty much no guidance (first gen, poc, low-income) to get into college and do well and then get into a t30 law school

1) does MBA actually improve someone's chance in getting those roles?
2) are there any good Canadian MBA programs you'd recommend?
