Juggling Job Offers. Single Family Office to LIHTC-Multifamily development?

I currently work for a high net worth single family office working on diverse investments in public markets and alternatives into early stage venture capital and commercial real estate (Offices).

Working with the family office I realized I really enjoyed real estate a lot. I live in Atlanta. I have been applying to big and regional firms like JLL ,Marcus ,CBRE ,Lincoln ,Stream in their investment sales and development arms the last 6 months and has gotten me no where.

I recently ran across a LIHTC Developer and was given an offer as an Analyst. Would it be good idea to jump ship or stay at my current firm until the current situation gets better? I plan on staying in the industry for a while.

So, you haven't really given enough info to give much of an opinion on this. Details like...

1. Current pay/structure vs. new pay/structure

2. Ability to grow - current vs. new

3. Long-term goals.... as in... is development what you want to do? (really this is the big one)

Clearly you must not be jazzed about current role otherwise you wouldn't be all out on the market. Thus, unless there is some major downside you have yet to describe.....

Why on earth wouldn't you take the job? You wanted a real estate job, you applied for it, and got it... what am I missing?
