Being the only development analyst on the team- advantage or disadvantage?
I've been in my current role for 3 years- a development analyst at a family office multifamily developer. Overall, I like my job. Ever since I've been at my company, I've been the only analyst- my other co-workers all have 5+ years of experience on me. Have always wondered if this is an advantage or disadvantage.

In another sense, could benefit from having a colleague my age in the office to bounce ideas off of and be a "team".
I'd say in terms of deal flow, my shop can get away with only one analyst, but we could use another.
Curious to hear others past and current experience with this and thoughts on whether its an advantage or disadvantage.
