What company is the biggest and/or best when it comes to pursuing a career in capital markets?
I’m coming out of college and considering capital markets.  I have some friends that are analysts on JLL capital markets teams and it seems that JLL is the top dog.  Is that true or or there bigger and better ones based on deal volume.

All of the big players (JLL, CBRE, Cushman, Colliers, etc.) will likely be good options but each city is different in terms of which is \u201cbest\u201d.
