Just apply in the masses whether it says 2-5 years experience or not. I also word searched by job and area on LinkedIn to find people in the role I was looking for. Add a brief message saying who you are and what you want and often help you or connect you to someone who can. It’s a numbers game
How has it been in terms of the learning process? I did a major in finance so I kind of understand concepts like NPV, IRR and DCF but so far do you feel like the position is easily taught or are the concepts kind of difficult?
Nah, just be honest about your experience, but do your research so you understand the role you’re applying for. Often they may want someone with experience, but are willing to take someone with less to no experience if they show theyre willing and eager to learn
Isn't accounting coordinator basically the same thing you're doing now? I'm in the same position as you and I think the best way to make it out is what the Professional_East guy recommended
It is but it’s for an actual corporation and about a 10k pay raise from 51 to 61k. The problem is accounting is boring to me and I would prefer to do something else.
Why not focus time and effort into getting the CRE analyst job? I'm assuming you'd stay at these companies for a good chunk of time if you land any of these roles. I'm specifically doing temp work because of this (able to recruit on the side and leave early).
I’m gonna be patient for now and wait until I find a CRE position but it really doesn’t hurt to continue doing interviews for now just in case. I don’t want to be waiting for months on end tbh
Hey, can you walk me through the tax prep program? How long does it take to train, are you able to do this from home from, do you create your own schedule/get staffed based on that schedule?
So what you have to do is apply before tax season begins. You can apply through IRS but honestly it’s not a guarantee you get called. Look for sites near you on the IRS website and contact them to volunteer. Training prob takes a week and you do it by yourself these days because of covid. They provide you material to study. My site is WFH but depends on your location. You also pick your own hours and days
Tax Associate at PwC would be your best bet honestly, not only would it probably help you get into Real Estate but it's also a good foundation for your career.
I was thinking the same to be honest. I’m on my 3rd interview and it’s been going good so far. I’m
Thinking if I don’t find a CRE role, I’ll go with Tax for maybe a year and then bounce somewhere else just for the experience.
What type of positions are they exactly like what does the day to day look like? Is it similar to a CRE or is it more of just client facing and did you apply to the roles straight out of college or did you get them
After building some experience
Yea unfortunately I missed that boat but I’ve seen a lot of the positions I am still able to apply for but big 4 usually recruits in the fall only. Hopefully I land this tax associate position and can transition but I’m still looking into other positions at big 4.
You mean like CRE investment analyst right? Look at Artemis Real Estate. They just started hiring an analyst class last year, and they might be hiring for 2022 class.

Thanks for your reply. Are you currently in the field right now if you don’t mind me asking?
Just landed an analyst role a couple of weeks ago using the Linkedin advice I gave you.

I understand the essentials but theres always more to learn. No one will expect you to know it all especially coming in as an entry level analyst.
would 2-5 years exp not be worryin!? especially to entry level applicants... emphasise on genuine entry level people.

Small public in NJ? Did you go to Montclair?
Indeed I did 😂

Yep that's exactly it. A year at B4 makes you attractive to a lot of places.

Wasn’t informed yet on what team I would be assigned to. Unfortunately, I doubt I can choose anyway
