Salaries are generally higher in advisory. I've never regretted switching. Work is also more varied and interesting. Don't think your rating matters as long as you connect with the right people to get the transfer approved.

Do you recommend we go for a serviced/luxury apartment (e.g. Montaje, 345 Harrison, etc.) or hire a broker to get a “normal” apartment?

Any managed buildings recommendations within our budget? Also, what are some good brokers we could work with?

Thanks!
