Berkadia- Analyst, SBL Loans.

Berkadia is hiring analysts for their small loan team in 5 cities. Any insights on this role? Seems like a general analyst position that works with production & underwriting? Or is this is largely an underwriting role? I am an associate with 2 years experience in cmbs and balance sheet lending, have a MSRE and I am paid 110K base (45% bonus last year). I get the feeling that this position will only get paid 60-70K base as its mainly for recent college graduates?, does anyone here think I will be able to get atleast a 110K base here?
