I know Capital One is one of the biggest multifamily lenders in the United States but don't know much else. A recruiter reached out to me for a Senior Analyst role in their Multifamily Lending group. Does anyone have details about the following:
1. Career trajectory starting out as Senior Credit Analyst for CRE, particularly multifamily
2. Salary expectations
3. Exit opportunities
4. Potential interview questions
5. Reputation and culture
Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

What city?
I'm at a competitor in NYC, I'd guess $100k base and 30-40% bonus.
You’re at another bank lender?
Agency competitor with friends at other banks/brokerages so fairly knowledgeable on the comp. PM Me
Edit: I'll add that I know more than 1 person doing a job that I would say is equivalent to "Senior Credit Analyst" for agency/bank lending. The base range for them is $100k-110k and the bonus is 25-40%. This is in NYC.
Would you say a place like Walker & Dunlop will also have a similar comp for a senior analyst/associate? Or do non bank shops pay a little less for the same job?
I think it would be pretty similar, but also hard to say since it feels like a lot of people I know at different shops are wide on comp. If someone else can chime in, please do, but here's my anecdote. My "mentor" is high up at W&D in a secondary market. I had a friend talking to him about becoming his Senior Analyst/Associate (4 years experience). When my friend said he wanted his base to be above his current comp of $87k, he said "we start our first year analysts around there." In my brokerage experience in a major market, bonuses on the production analyst side are almost always above 50% (some friends have been above 100% at top shops) and base has been anywhere from 85-110k. This is for someone with experience though.
Thanks for input. What is the typical career trajectory of a someone starting off at this position? Is typically Chief/Senior Underwriter or Production/Origination?
