What It's Really Like to do Hotel Acquisitions and Asset Management Analysis in New York City

As someone who went to college for hotel administration and real estate, I really have been lucky to find a job that allows me to use both of my degrees on a daily basis. Often I even find myself referring back to my college notes and text books that I have saved, as the material that we covered back in college is directly applicable to my everyday job. In my role, there really is no such thing as an average day. I may be reviewing monthly financial reports, asset positioning or market data in the morning and then may be looking at the legal issues or compensation plan of one of the management companies in the afternoon. You never really know.

This summer marks my second year in New York City. Bottom line is, the city is amazing – bars, restaurants, shows – pretty much whatever you want. If you can’t find it in New York City, you can’t find it anywhere.

The city is a great place for a new College Grad as not only is there so much to do, but there are tons of other college grads and classmates to meet up with after work. Rent is very expensive, but the lifestyle can't be beat.
