Analyst for principle or Appraiser

Hi-

I am in a predicament with a couple job options. I am interviewing for a real estate analyst role with a principle which focuses as a holdings firm but does participate in new acquisitions and development opportunities. At the same time, I have received a offer for an appraisal role at a top CRE firm. Both positions will give me exposure to DCF analysis and Argus.

I understand that the analyst role will likely create better opportunities to learn but I am still interviewing and there is no offer on the table yet. What is everyone thoughts on the two options and how would you proceed in this situation?

Thank you for the input.

Can't help, but I turned down a Valuation Trainee at a large brokerage about a year ago and I am seriously regretting it. The pay was terrible, but the learning would have been worth it. Thinking about reaching back out the guy I talked to see what's up.
