Assuming pay is similar which do you think provide the best exit ops? On one side I think working for a mid-major owner would be a great experience. On other other, it wouldn't hurt to have a major lending institution on the resume
are you referring to institutional Asset Management? what asset class?
What do want to do with your life? What level of experience do you have? What's comp look like?
So many questions
The Asset Management analyst role would be on the “institutional” side. This company invests in value add multifamily properties with ~10,000 units under management. They focus on secondary/tertiary markets and have a solid reputation.
I’d be involved in the day to day for every property and assisting each individual asset manager whenever needed. It sounds as if the lending role would consist of some origination/client management but also a lot of analytical work.
I’d be coming from a debt brokerage background, so more familiar with the lending side of the business. To be honest I’m afraid of getting pigeon holed on the lending side but this company is one that I could potentially build a career at. Figure comp for each position is in the $75-80K range.
They positions are honestly too different for us to really guide you on this. If you're looking to get out of lending, go with the Asset Management position. If not, go with the lending position. You're the only one who is going to be able to value that in your head.
Really depends on the quality of the AM role (not the firm but the team & job description). In my opinion the vast majority of AM work is really boring; would much rather be on the execution side regardless of debt/equity, and those are all great debt platforms that you mentioned.
Yea i agree. I would say about 65% of AM is just haggling people for financial statements
