Curious about this opportunity I came across on linkedin
Hello,

I'm not in the commercial real estate business but I have been interested in it for some time. I came across this job listing on LI and thought I would get some feedback about it. Here's the description:

Empty promises of tons of money and then taunts to end the post. Job description sounds like you ARE doing CRE brokerage, so likely brokers don\u2019t want to deal with this client/employer? \n\nAnytime people say you will learn a lot, they want you to do free work that should be paid instead. Sounds like the start of an abusive relationship.", "replies": [], "depth": 1}, {"id": "icncv77", "text": "This is a very typical business development job it means going to industry events, going to happy hours, participating in charity events and generally being the ambassador for this organization.
