Affordable Housing Debt & Structured Finance Vs CRE Commercial Banking Analyst

Recently got an offer to join the affordable housing debt and structured finance team at a top brokerage firm. I also have an offer to join the CRE underwriting team in the commercial banking division of a large international retail bank (It has a strong regional presence in northeast US, but minimal presence elsewhere in the US. Think Citizens, Zions, Signature in US asset size). There I would go through the credit training and work in NYC, where I would be underwriting mostly class B and C stabilized multifamily assets. At the brokerage firm I would be doing agency underwriting and underwriting LIHTC properties and portfolios in a different large city in the northeast. The affordable brokerage team is separate so I wouldn't be on a brokerage path.

I have done a solid of work understanding various affordable housing initiatives so I understand from a technical perspective what I would be getting myself into and it is something I am passionate about. However, I don't really understand what career paths, off ramps look like and potential comp look like. Can anyone offer any advice?
