Brokerage questions
Hey guys, are any of you in the commercial real estate business if so I have a few questions:

1) What got you into the business?

2) What is your compensation plan like?

3) What are the big players in the business?

4) What kind of career trajectory can one expect in the industry (i'm interviewing for a sales associate in training positon)

5) Do you plan on staying in the industry and if so what are your goals, if not what industry would you like to move in to?

Thanks in advance!
