I wouldn't discount looking for an analyst role at a lender. Since you're a fresh grad, it'll be a bit more tough to land at a debt fund or higher octane bank, but maybe look for analyst roles at banks that have a couple different products - CMBS, Agency, Balance Sheet, Investor Placement.... etc. Banks can typically offer analysts higher base pay and sometimes lucrative bonuses. I think it's a good way to learn the business along with getting paid market. Not to mention a resume booster out of college. You'll also be interacting with brokers that you could potentially jump to down the line. Originators at banks such as Wells Fargo, Chase, Morgan Stanley, Capital One ..... can make a lot of money and sometimes more than your run of the mill debt broker. Not to mention you have a base salary and benefits. It may not sound as sexy, but once you start working in the industry you'll realize nothing we do is.

The national brokerages all have hiring freezes so you’ll need to look more boutique if you want to do brokerage.
Go find a small owner/developer and tell them you'll cold call all day on their behalf in return for a commission on whatever pans out.
I was going on the assumption you have a long term goal to be in brokerage.
If you're just looking for a job to pay the bills until you can hop to an investment sales team, the world is your oyster

Started at a lifeco/debt fund out of school and can confirm this statement tracks.
