I made a throwaway for this account, but I'm a regular contributor here in the real estate forum and I'd appreciate any advice on this topic. I have 9 months of full-time experience working in real estate lending covering healthcare (senior housing, skilled nursing) at a private lender. Clients / deal sizes are institutional. Responsibilities include writing credit memos, modeling/underwriting, managing due diligence process
Does anyone know someone that moved from a non-corporate finance role to IB or leveraged finance without an advanced degree. Given that I'm covering healthcare real estate, I thought a move to healthcare sponsor finance or healthcare IB is most feasible.
Are there any firms that extensively cover healthcare REITs, assisted living service companies etc?
Anyone in HC finance or or HCIB care to chime in on how you'd view someone with my background?
Is there any way to make my profile more competitive outside of modeling courses, CFA, and networking?
I've had a couple front office securities related internships, most recent one at a BB, so I'm not completely new to the corporate finance world. Thanks in advance for any help, and let me know if you need more background to give better advice
