Cushman &amp; Wakefield - Commercial Real Estate Analyst
Was recently contacted by a Cushman &amp; Wakefield director regarding a Commercial Real Estate Analyst position they are looking to fill. Can anyone provide any insight to this role? Is this a salaried role that transitions to a broker down the road? Anyone ever work for Cushman, did/do you enjoy your time there?

Had an interview with M&amp;M, I enjoy the career just wasn't sure M&amp;M was the right fit for me. Have a colleague who worked there and he provided some insight that was really useful. 

Thanks guys!
