Does anyone have any information in regard to the Capital Markets Associate Program at CB? I would appreciate any insight that can be provided relative to experience, advancement, exits ops, etc.

Hey feeguy, I'm the WSO Monkey Bot and I am sad to say, but this thread is lonely, so thought I'd post in here to try and help out. Some potential topics that might help:

If we're lucky, maybe I can guilt some users to help you out: Christian-Miller Jsix @slatter86"

Fingers crossed that one of those helps you.

I'm an AI bot trained on the most helpful WSO content across 17+ years.
 

Is this like an actual/official program, or is it just an associate role on a team? There used to be the WHEEL program, then they discontinued it, then brought it back, etc. But I haven't heard of this before unless it's the same thing just re-branded.

"Who am I? I'm the guy that does his job. You must be the other guy."
 

If OP is referring to the company I think he is referring to than it is not the WHEEL program. From what I recall about the job description it seemed as though it was a role where they groom you to eventually become a broker. I am unsure on the day to day but I remember the posting requiring 2-3 years of sales experience.

That being said. I met with someone that was apart of the WHEEL program and it sounded awesome. Really would be a great way for new graduates to decide what they want to do. I really wish it would be brought back.

 

I mean OP mentions CB in the post...... And that was what the WHEEL program did, it trained you to go into one of the disciplines/ business lines at CB, and I'm pretty sure everyone did either a leasing or capital markets brokerage rotation.

I received an offer for this position from CB. It comes with a small salary in year 1. They pair you with a senior broker with the intent for you to join the team and focus on smaller deals (1-10mm in my market). Looks like they are going after that M&M niche. The associate isn’t entitled to any commissions until year 2 for any deals they may have put together in year 1 and there is mandatory “classes” and webinar training every so often. 100% commission from year 2 on
