Summer Analyst at BB Balance Sheet Lender v. Eastdil Equity Sales

Which is a better summer analyst opportunity for someone interested in moving to a top REPE firm (BX, Carlyle, Starwood, etc) down the line: a top CRE team at a BB bank specializing in balance sheet lending and CMBS or an equity sales position at Eastdil? Both positions are in NY. Currently have an exploding offer at one of the options with a chance of getting the second, but not sure about which has better exits. Also interested in how first year analyst pay would compare at both. Thanks in advance for your thoughts!

 

Well...currently you only have one offer, so you don't really have a choice. If it happens that you get a choice, go with what you think you want to do. If you want to do equity, go to eastdil, if you want to do debt, do the lender. In regards to going to a top REPE fund, both are fine options - don't see why you couldn't move to one from either. With that said, Eastdil does send people to REPE, and I don't know what lender you are talking about. Many of the REPE firms do have equity and lending operations.
