I’m glad the earlier KPMG comment was deleted. This platform attracts toxic people who feel that it is necessary to not add anything of value.

OP if you live with a large city, there might be local conferences hosted by your city government to provide information for people interested in getting into real estate. It would probably be useful if you want to know more about that market.

I am 7 years out in a transactional practice (real estate) and have an opportunity to move in house at a regionally respected company from a midsize firm. I have WFH flexibility at my current firm but bill about 1850-1900 per year. It would be about a 25% paycut. I have also been offered partnership starting in 2022 if I stay - not entirely clear what that long term structure looks like (would have to develop a partially independent book in next 3-5 years). Am I crazy if I leave?
