Exploring commercial mortgage broker career path

I am considering a career transition into commercial mortgage brokerage. What can top commercial mortgage brokers make? How does this career path compare to that of commercial real estate broker in terms of day to day and earning potential? From the research I have done this job is tougher to break into than getting a job as a CRE broker. Looking for some perspective and feedback. Thanks!
