Big Four CF vs Top RE Broker Corporate Finance

Hi all,

I am currently an Analyst at a Top Broker within their CF division – our workload includes equity raises, JV sell-side/buy-side mandates, portfolio sales as well as some minor M&A. Exits from the brokerage havebeen toIBDatBBs(the analyst pool have gone here).

I am ex-BB Banking in Debt and due to a variety of reasons (COVID) ended up here at the brokerage doing Real Estate CF work.

问题是我为我所做的少付– as I am from a debt background some of the concepts and skills are also new to me but I am here now and it is what it is. Also it is a pool role so we are used and abused as and when deals come in…

I have been given an offer for a Top Big 4 CF team in RE and it pays more and I guess similar work + advisory work which is a bit lame.

I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on both positions and what I should do?

Any advice really is helpful.
