Better situation to start out in

In a major market like nyc, chicago, la, etc -- would you rather start your career at a small shop (10 guys) with an opportunity to see some deal flow on the development/acquisitions side and work as a broker going after deals for yourself, or start out with a Cushman, CBRE, Eastdil, etc in an analyst role on the investment sales side seeing much more deal flow and making a more solid income for the first few years?

Just want to see if anyone has some thoughts on this, is the brand name and security of a top firm worth having to grind through the analyst, associate roles before you're able to get some skin in the game for yourself?
