I’ve been an associate on a BB CRE Warehouse Lending team for 2 years now. Love the role and the differences compared to traditional CRE lending but I’m curious if there’s any exit ops to a buy side capital markets or direct CRE lending role or if the niche of warehouse lending narrows my opportunities to only the warehouse world.
