Hi guys, need advice from some like minded people.

I'm a senior in college graduating in May with a degree in finance. I have over 1 yr. of accounting experience ; almost 2 by May. I'm also set to work at a commercial real estate firm upon graduation. For the record, I love RE(specifically multifamily) and I'm working with a partner to buy our first deal. More deals to come if this is successful.

I'm conflicted whether to work at the RE firm vs a regular accounting/ finance W-9 vs taking a more Fastlane approach. Or both?

The RE firm will pay about 15-20K less (initially) versus a accounting/finance role I can get with my experience. I'm not sure if it would be worth doing the RE role and getting less intial compensation? ( Although I love RE and this role would help me be more knowledgable to syndicate future deals with investors)

I am also working on creating an online marketing business and question whether taking the RE role, with less compensation upfront, may limit me working on my marketing business.

Any input or advice would be appreciated guys. I set up a poll as well. Thank you!
