The guy that works at EY doesn't know - as someone who used to work at JLL in one of the major offices, there's actually a decent amount of geographic mobility, significantly more than other RE firms. JLL is trying to expand their capital markets footprint in the european market (or at least was before I left) so if you're on an institutional debt team, work hard and have a good reputation you can transfer to the london office as an analyst / associate. I know three people who did that. Other markets are probably on the cards too, but you'd need to speak the local language.

Whether you should work at JLL is another question though... team/geography/product type dependent, but you'll get amazing reps at the cost of your hairline and get underpaid for it. If the pay wasn't so shit I would highly recommend

Ya for sure! So from my experience I was getting pigeonholed into real estate and I wasn’t committed to this industry. I fell into it during covid because I struck out on IB recruitment, then pivoted from acquisitions to REIB. Left to pursue Fintech and Payments coverage and I’m loving it. Comp is a lot higher due to the stronger deal flow, enjoying the culture, and feel like I’ve found my niche. Not saying Fintech is the answer but I wanted to be in a growing industry that has potential, recession proof and was evolving. Fintech borrowed aspects of FIG covering FI’s and the tech portion for SaaS companies supporting fintechs so it had a nice blend. No longer really have to worry about getting laid off due to the FIG portion and FIG tends to do fine during slower markets. Did this help?

 

Base is the same for analysts and associates. The splits are better for deal tips and maybe higher bonus. Main difference between an associate and analyst is that producers will allow you to quarterback deals so you can command more of the tips.
