Is CoreVest a respected RE firm? Any level of comparisons to other firms?
Just received an offer from this company and not sure if I should take it or not because it’s not really in the commercial space, which is what I want in career. I feel like I would be taking a step back from where I really want to be in.

The position is sort of a resi lending UW/originations type of role but my goal is to be in CRE asset management. The good part is I would be getting a 20% raise and a promotion in title to Senior.

Would love to hear your thoughts.
