That said, I’ve noticed that real estate often comes up in a negative light on this forum. Before making any move, I wanted to understand the reasoning behind this view.
Specifically:
- 1. What are the main drawbacks of choosing real estate as a primary practice area,
- 2. How do compensation and growth usually play out over time, and
- 3. Whether it makes sense to enter real estate at this stage of one’s career.
Would appreciate honest inputs from people who have worked in real estate or have seen how careers in this space typically progress.
