Interning at a Real Estate Private Equity Developer Firm — My Takeaways

From how I landed the internship to the pros and cons

Crazy about working in Private Equity, with developers, or general real estate? I got a taste of what it’s like over a ~4-month period.

First, some context — Project Destined, an undergraduate program

I was introduced to an undergraduate program that pays undergrad students to learn about commercial real estate and connects students with partners to land internships/jobs at top real estate companies. This program was called Project Destined, which I absolutely recommend for any students looking to learn more about the world of real estate.

Highlights of the program:

• 3 months long, paid $150 per month
• ~3–4 meetings per week
• Lessons through their online portal and from live speakers at top companies on current commercial real estate topics

Here is a link to my Notion with all the high-level notes on what I learned through Project Destined
