Pay is most likely lower but I think WLB is better. If you enjoy seeing properties then valuation would be good since you’ll see more of them.

I made this pivot last year and have really enjoyed it. I was in banking (a Midwest bank) and didn’t se a future there. Now I’m at a Big 4 in their valuations group.

they are referencing a different type of valuation. RE valuation for FR purposes. That is why there is a “busy season”.

What function is your role at the lender? Also what type of lender, e.g. bank, conduit, debt fund, etc.? If client facing / originations I would assume appraisal & valuations would be a step down pay-wise. Work life balance should be better though.

DON'T DO IT! Well ok, maybe do it now given the current environment but start away from bank work and avoid working on a fee basis. Big 4 is a good move if you're going to go real estate Valuation/appraisal but try not to get stuck in it for too long.

what’s ur thoughts on it? b4 or just work for a cre appraisal place?

So, I've realised there's a problem with developers, a lot of them are coders, not engineers. And another issue, is that, companies don't really care about their progression as far as I'm aware, so what did you guys do in your own time to transition from being a coder to an engineer?
