With an owner of commercial real estate (could be a developer but most developers only hold for a short period so they have little need for AMs). Try this book if you need a better understanding of the full spectrum of careers, it helped me when I was starting.

Are you familiar with the various career paths in CRE? If not, I found this book helpful. I can't say that this is the best book for this purpose, just one that I liked.
If your goal is to work for a large REPE shop (e.g. Blackstone), your best path is to go the IB route.
If you want to get more into development, or working for an operator/sponsor or perhaps even a lender, learn the CRE basics and NETWORK. Learning Argus will also be a huge step. Networking is always important but I think it goes a lot farther in CRE than in other industries. There are plenty of professional groups out there (ULI, NAIOP, ICSC, etc.) that have events catering to younger professionals that can be helpful.
Lastly (and this is more of a personal opinion), people always talk about getting a CFA or any of the other designations but I think getting a real estate brokers license is extremely helpful even if you don't go the brokerage route.
