Advice: Breaking into PE from REPE (M7 MBA)

Hi all,

Coming from an REPE background (eg 6 years), doing relatively large real estate deals.

Going to an M7 MBA coming fall - would it be difficult to transition from REPE to traditional PE? I'd imagine that the deal process would be similar?

Other than the deal structuring / negotiation process being relatively similar, i'd imagine the traditional LBO modelling would be something that is different from traditional real estate financial modelling (but not hard to pick up). Is it possible through an M7 MBA?

I also have the CFA charter

Thanks

 

I think it might be hard but not impossible… may need to do IB and the go to PE. Or go to private credit after MBA and then move to PE. Just throwing some ideas. Would be good to hear from someone who managed to do this.
