Tenant Rep vs. Capital Markets Analyst

Opportunity to join a Tenant Rep office broker at CBRE in SF. Have an opportunity to join a debt team as an analyst in SD at JLL. Conflicted and would love some insight. Both teams do a lot of volume and make a killing.

Would highly, highly recommend capital markets, especially if you are new out of school.  I know a lot of tenant brokers that have or to move to the sell side, I do not know any that have done the reverse.  In general, you will also have a lot more optionality after working in capital markets than you would as a tenant rep.  Unless you want to try to build some sort of business around using your tenant relationships to lease and flip distressed buildings on your own, would recommend capital markets by a long shot.

Thank you both for the insight. Was curious how possible it is to move markets within JLL as a capital markets analyst. I've seen analysts after a year or so move to a different market on the debt side. Is moving to a larger market possible within Debt at JLL?

Ad deleniti exercitationem dolorem aliquam hic. Blanditiis ipsam fugiat autem explicabo minus a asperiores. Voluptatem sed atque dolorem occaecati dignissimos. Aut quibusdam numquam debitis et maxime libero aut.
