🍿 He took an $80K pay cut for this?

I graduated with my MBA from a top 25 school in 2024 thinking that I wanted to be a real estate developer. Commercial real estate market was in shambles, and I networked my way into finally getting an analyst level role (not the typical post MBA job) making around $80K in a VHCOL city. I was making about $60K more before B-school. Been here 3 months and it’s not development, it’s way more finance and Excel than I was expecting. Small company, cliquey, and overall I have a lot of anxiety about the job because I’m not very mathematical. I’m good with people and an excellent communicator and great at customer service.

I’m thinking about going into sales or recruiting, where there is more upside but would probably be similar to what I’m making now. Just wanted to get advice or hear from others about whether: A) is it too soon to leave this job? B) someone told me that although you can make decent money in sales, there is a cap to your earning potential whereas commercial real estate development long term will be more lucrative. What are your thoughts on this?

Overall I feel lost and confused. Any general advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
