[{"id": "eon5pxu", "text": "If you go to debt placement you\u2019re going to a career on the debt side.

I've been a data analyst in marketing for 2 years and have been trying to switch to an analyst with an IS sales team in NYC. Any chance you could reply/PM any tips, and how you found or applied to your firm? I'd really appreciate it. Also, were they looking for just Excel skills or also Argus?", "replies": [{"id": "eon86th", "text": "I was fortunate enough to have three internships in Undergrad, including two with CRE Brokerages, which helped tremendously. A recruiter reached out to me from my current firm when they found my profile on linkedin last summer after I graduated. Without some CRE Experience I think its going to be tough to make that jump. Maybe make the jump to marketing in a CRE Firm first? Also could go for a MSRE and get an internship under you, but that would be expensive.", "replies": [{"id": "eoph91k", "text": "Damn that\u2019s awesome. Three is insane, you must\u2019ve known early. Well congratulations! I\u2019ll keep looking for an analyst position through networking I think. If you don\u2019t mind me asking. What ballpark salary should I expect w minimal commission. Currently at 65 and wouldn\u2019t want to go below 55 really", "replies": [{"id": "eor6nkz", "text": "Analyst positions with CRE Brokers really vary. I started at $50,000 with a bonus that\u2019s anywhere from 40-90% of salary depending on how well we do in a given year. We\u2019re having possibly our best year ever so I expect my take home to be at least $80,000. I know some brokers that are heavier on salary and lower on bonuses and some that are totally tied to your brokers performance. Really depends on the firm.", "replies": [{"id": "eor7hgk", "text": "Dude you\u2019re livin the dream!

This topic is debated ad nauseam on WSO and the overall consensus is that both options are fine. But the bigger issue the group that you work under- does not matter if its IS or D/E placement. A firm like CBRE, JLL, Cushman, etc regardless of the group you are in will give you stellar exit opps.", "replies": [], "depth": 1}]
