I'm currently at a CMBS shop in NYC doing Underwriting as an analyst and am able to get placed somewhere full time but not a lot of groups really interest me. I'm learning a ton but I truly don't really enjoy the job whatsoever, it's mind-numbing. I have always loved the idea of doing AM/PM or Originations but don't know which is the move? I like a nice WLB, but I also wouldn't mind working hard if that meant being able to not stare at excel and push numbers all day long. Brokerage sounds great but I want a salary.
Help, please!!! Lead me to greatness.
If debt brokerage is of any interest but you want a salary, maybe check out originations at a bank. Generally those roles comes with base + commissions or bonus. You'll also be out of the office more often and have more control over your schedule in an originations role compared to a typical office job, both of which provide you a bit more control over the gas pedal in terms of WLB
EDIT: Just to add that if you hate excel that much, it may be tough... You'll probably be doing that sort of work in just about any CRE role, at least in the early stages of your career. Sales/originations will just be less of it and more face time
Thank you, thats a great idea. And for excel- I dont hate it at all, I enjoy doing it, but not from 9-8 all day lol.
