How does the asset class you work with affect a future career path?

[Nicklaus McCain]

I recently started a job at a well known Brokerage Firm working as an analyst for a top Self Storage team. I was looking for almost 6 months for a job!

My job consists of daily Self Storage underwriting and market research.

I was hoping to be on a Multifamily team on either the brokerage or principal side when job hunting. This is the asset class I enjoy working in the most. But I couldn’t be picky with this market.

My question is how will working in a different asset class (self-storage) affect looking for a multifamily position in the next few years?

I plan to work here for a year and a half or so and get my MSRED at ASU after that.

Any advice?
