The Pros and [Cons] of Working at Big vs. Small Companies in CRE // When you’re first starting out in commercial real estate, the size of the companies that you work for can have a big impact on your experience, and ultimately your exit opportunities when you're ready to move on.

Starting your career in the industry at an institutional, brand name organization can have massive benefits for you over the long-term, but the experience you’d get at a quickly growing startup can also give you some really unique opportunities (that even a company with hundreds of billions of dollars in AUM wouldn't be able to match).

And depending on where you want to end up, starting your career at a big company will take you on a very different path than starting your career at a smaller, more entrepreneurial firm, and your skill set, resume, and network in the industry can all be substantially different based on the route you take.

So to help you get clear on where you want to head next and whether you should be targeting big, established firms, or smaller, quickly growing companies, in this video, I want to walk through the main differences between working at a big, brand-name shop and a small, entrepreneurial organization, and where you might want to start your commercial real estate career based on your long term goals and aspirations within the industry.

Big companies, for the family benefits. As a woman, in my last move, I had to take fertility coverage into consideration. Most companies don't offer this benefit, but it's becoming more and more important as people are having babies later in life. Benefits are really, really important.

Great overview! I chose the entrepreneurial route, and I love it! We’ve grown significantly in the last year, and I’ve been exposed to multiple facets of cre as a result. I highly recommend this option, but it’s important that the owner is someone you can learn a lot from.

Thanks again for another fantastic video, Stumbling onto your channel a year ago has done wonders for my understanding of what goes on within the CRE industry. Keep up the great work!

Awesome vid - I started out at MM just like everybody it seems. I learned a ton, but once I had some more knowledge and experience under my belt, I decided to go boutique for the better splits, and to learn more of the hands-on contract stuff, etc.

Do you think working at a property trust or reit like Starwood for example is a good start for someone looking to becoming a principal/owner in the future?

This video was super helpful thank you! I’m currently in the process of making this decision. I’m new to real estate and starting my career as a real estate agent, i have 2 offers one from a large firm and one from a boutique one and I’m literally so confused about which option to go for, especially since it’s a 100% commission role I want to make sure I’m making money asap! Any help is honestly so appreciated at this point. Keep up the great video content your a natural!
