Currently in capital markets and looking to transition to the principal side. Think the debt space is fascinating right now and honestly think over the next decade there will be debt guys that will generate more attractive risk adjusted returns than a lot of the equity guys.

Regarding comp, I'd be going in with two years of experience under my belt.

My guess would be $100k base and 30-50 bonus. Debt fund space is super crowded right now. Being an analyst at a debt fund would be great technical experience as you get exposure to all property types and all markets... and you work on some highly structured or hairy deals....but I think a lot of these debt funds will wash out in the next couple of years because they either can’t put out enough money (market is very competitive) or there’s a downturn and warehouse lines get pulled, CLO market shuts down, etc

Just know going into it there’s a good chance you won’t be there in 1 to 2 years
