I’ve been trying to move to NYC for a year now, but nothing seems to bite. Is the job market bad or am I just not a good candidate? Looking for mostly real estate/asset management analyst positions

Well that’s never good to hear. What’s the best way to combat over-saturation?

Do u have experience in the roles you’re applying for? If not how are you showing you’re making an attempt to be qualified? (I.e certification etc)

I have 1.5 years in the real estate development and asset management industry. I graduated May 2018, so not much on top of that

FedEx a resume to the hiring Mgr especially if it’s some position you know you are good for

I’m curious to see what kind of cover letter your friend sent along with the resume. Would they mind sharing?

Looking at exits into pharma and biotech. Have an opp at a biotech at the SM level. Total comp excluding equity is around $190k; RSUs vest over 4 years with annual refreshers, so first year equity would be around $6,200 and it would go up by $6,200 each of the next 3 years, plus whatever base bump I get. Very good benefits package.

They envision 2-3 years before I jump either to AD or right to D. Solid opp? Or hold out to go straight to director level?
