Is working for a major retail tenant a good career path and what to expect?
Working on an internal team doing pro-formas, site selection, research, etc.

What are the future prospects? What type of money can be made? Job security?

Reason I ask is I am close to getting an offer with a very well known company but I want to make absolute sure its a good move as I'd be taking a fairly large initial hit in pay.

The pay is comfortable - I would guess the seasoned experienced guys are earning anywhere from 120-175k (this is me guessing from their houses, cars, number of kids -etc. - I got really close to a lot of those guys), but I know they get bonuses for each property approved and closed.\n\nJob security - that depends. If you are a regional real estate rep- what do you do after you bought/leased all the properties the company wants/needs in that market? You are either out of the job or moving markets. One guy I worked with moved 7 times throughout his career. If you are taking a more managerial role, overseeing regions, then I can see some good job security.", "replies": [{"id": "crhhsua", "text": "Yes that moving around bit definitely concerns me", "replies": [{"id": "cricyzv", "text": "depending who you are talking its not all new acquisitions.  \n\nLease renewals, moving existing locations, etc just in theirself can be significant.  Expect to travel a lot though even if you aren't moving.", "replies": [], "depth": 3}], "depth": 2}], "depth": 1}]
