CRE: Analyst for Mortgage Broker vs. Acquisitions at Investment Firm

Both small (<15 people total ea) shops, both more start up (established in the last 4-5 years), both have more than enough deal flow.

I'm trying to switch careers from accounting within the hedge fund space to actual finance, so I'm down for taking a good pay cut to get into one of these but I'm not sure which. It's a large area, near NYC.

Please help if possible.

Thank you
