Just got offered at an CRE analyst at a regional bank. Base salary is 65k with 10-20% bonus. I’ll be working specifically on affordable housing loans. I would be dropping out of a masters of accounting program and giving up a big 4 audit job.
What would the exits be from the position? And what would the comp progression look like. What else do I need to consider?

I appreciate your feedback.
I have 3 years of experience in residential real estate lending and love it compared to my time doing tax/audit internships. So, I do see myself doing this long-term. I will start with affordable housing but, will be moving around quite a bit.
Anything else I need to consider before I take this job?
Nice - well in that case this seems like a good fit. Some other random things to consider:
No right answer to any of these, just things to think about... Good luck!
Thank you!
Not a bad start. I did this for my first two years out of school and then transitioned to AM on equity side for a top REPE firm. Having the debt knowledge has been advantageous in my current role. Try to get exposure to more product types than just affordable housing if possible
