Investment Sales Analyst or GSA Underwriting

I am deciding between two offers. An Investment Sales Analyst for a primarily net lease team in a SE market and a MF underwriting analyst at a government agency in the DMV area.

GSA underwriting comp is higher with the opportunity to get my masters paid for and IS Analyst is low comp with a chance for bonuses if I bring deals in. They’re very different pathways so wanted to hear everyone’s thoughts. Let me know if you need more I do.

To me they're very similar in terms of specialization. Net Lease vs GSE? It doesn't sound like the IS option is very generalist, but I'll caveat for the "primarily" that was thrown in there. OP you can't go wrong with either option, although net lease offer may have a leg up simply due to the possibility of more asset class breadth. Depends on the teams deal flow...
