Looking for opportunities in JLL as a Construction Project Manager with a passion for Commercial Real Estate Development. What's the best way for someone to pivot from an Automotive Industry with 10 years of PM experience?

Hi! I am new to the fishbowl app and was just causally browsing on things construction related.

My first question will be: What do you mean as a Construction Project Manager? Do you mean job title as Construction Project Manager or Project Manager for Real Estate and Construction projects?

Construction Project Manager as a title, sits on site, deals with trade contractors, manages on site health & safety etc. You will need to have actual construction knowledge and relevant trainings to be in this job. I don’t think JLL has this role in their company. So I am thinking you might be referring to my second assumption.

Project Manager in Real Estate and Construction is what I do. This job is client facing and your experience from PM in automotive industry will be more transferrable. However as a project manager for real estate development, you will still need to understand the whole development process from a strategic point of view. Everyone I know who is working in development has real estate background, either through previous work or education. I would recommend you speaking to recruitment agents and find out how much transferrable skills you have and also express your interest to become professionally chartered / do a relevant master degree!

Good luck!

Thank you for your response! I will seek out some recruiters who work at JLL and get some feedback. I spoke to one individual who worked at JLL's PDS & he had suggested I learn Argus or something similar to practice some RE financial modeling. Hope you have a great start to 2023! Wishing you all the best 👍🏽

Hello all!

Am I correct in my understanding that:

Over a certain income ($76k as of 2021), a single person CANNOT make tax-free contributions to a traditional IRA if you have a workplace retirement plan?

In my example, I have a work 401k, and my adjusted gross income is over (or just about hovering) at the 76k limit. This means I can't make pre-tax contributions to a traditional IRA, so I should just go for a Roth?

Hi all, I am trying to DCA bi-weekly into Vanguard ETFs, (VO, VTI etc). It seems like Fidelity does not support auto buying of non-Fidelity ETFs. So I was wondering which of these options you think is best?

1. Open a Vanguard Invest account
2. Look for Fidelity ETFs that are similar to Vanguard ETFs
3. Use smaller brokerages like SoFi l, Robinhood etc.

I really do not want to manage nor be active. My goal is to log-in like once every 6 months.

Thank you all.
