Not sure if it’s worth it because I don’t know if you want to do it. What do you want to do?
I mean more that there are no funds, the mix of adv. and acq. - not sure if that is a good move compared with just straight up repe backed with funds raised
Which isn't an answer to the question: what do you want to do? Is it experience you think is valuable? No one is going to hold you responsible for not having raised money for these guys, so why does it matter to you? You'll be judged on your work product, not the reputation of your employer. This ain't banking
I like the opportunity. It sounds like interesting work from both the advisory stuff and the deals. You'd be doing a lot of varied work which hopefully is intriguing and keeps you active in the work. Plus you'd get your foot into the door at a REPE and there's no guarantee you will get a comparative offer from a fund. It is different work than what you are currently doing and would give you a different vantage point. I'm all for it, assuming pay and culture are a fit. The only reason I'd say stay is if you're making a killing at your brokerage and you only interviewed for this opportunity for a laugh. Another thing would be how long you have been at your job, would this make you look like you're job hopping or is it the right time to move? Another point, let's say their deals dry up, would you be the first fired or is there enough fee generation on the advisory side to make sure that doesn't happen?
I wouldn't obsess so much over going somewhere with discretionary funds - good syndicators don't have an issue raising money for a good deal and should have an equity raising team so it's outside the scope of your work anyways.
You will also 100% learn more about structuring investment vehicles at a syndicator that knows what they're doing simply by being exposed to more volume and being able to get more creative with SPVs.
