Career change advise - from Associate to Analyst

Hello everyone,

I’m currently a brokerage associate at a small boutique firm in the DFW area. I’m thinking about taking a new position at a REIT as an analyst. The job sounds very exciting and rewarding + it’s a much bigger firm.

I’m just curious about other’s opinions. Smart move? Thanks!
