Tech M&A Banker,
Thanks for all your input.
What do you know about the different real estate groups on the Street? Which firms are best known for strong real estate groups and/or high deal flow? What kinds of deals do they do? How big are these deals?
I never hear anyone talk about real estate on these message boards. Why is that? It can't be that real estate IB is that insignificant, can it? For example, isn't the MSDW real estate group one of their biggest in terms of number of anaylsts employed? Is this just not a "sexy" area?
I've heard that real estate IB was bigger in the early 1990s. Do you have any info about what was going on?
Is it better to work abroad in real estate IB (Europe, Asia) than in the U.S.?
Also, what kinds of opportunities are available to analysts who work for a real estate group? And how are these opportunities different than those available for an anaylst with experience in another group? Does real estate IB "pigeon-hole" or "label" people?
THANK YOU!
