I'm about 8 months in to my stint as an Analyst at a boutique debt/equity placement firm (major metro market). We're a mid market shop that has decent deal flow and runs very lean (think 4-5 producers, 2-3 analysts/associates as support). Pay structure is salary + bonus. Mainly place mezz, construction, acquisition loans, and preferred equity. Wondering what the exit opps for a position like this would be? Admittedly we aren't the most sophisticated shop, but since I've joined I've been able to work on a variety of deals for all types of properties and directly communicate with Sponsors/lenders. Pay is good and there's a lot of room to grow in the firm but see myself working in development or REPE instead of brokerage. Is this a good place to start? Should I count my blessings and stick with the firm for a few years? Would be great to hear this forum's thoughts/advice. Thanks!
