CAREER OPTIONS: REIB Versus Commercial RE Brokerage

Looking into different career options at this point as I am about a year and a half into my analyst role with a MM REPE firm in Buffalo, NY. Want to get down to the NYC and have been exploring both options. I know the paths are largely different but both seem to be pretty lucrative. Anyone have advice on the pay, lifestyle, exit opps, etc.? Much appreciated.

Et eaque et deleniti in. Cum sunt voluptas deserunt placeat sed et corporis reiciendis. Esse dolores laboriosam est non ea et tenetur omnis.

Rerum et autem maxime enim impedit qui pariatur. Quia tempora sunt possimus quasi laborum atque. Iure error officia numquam repudiandae libero ut. Cumque sint quia voluptatum quidem expedita aut. Eum ea totam sint velit voluptatem sed. Harum tempore animi qui inventore numquam id.

When a plumber from Hoboken tells you he has a good feeling about a reverse iron condor spread on the Japanese Yen, you really have no choice. If you don’t do it to him, somebody else surely will. -Eddie B.
