Based on the most helpful WSO content, compensation in real estate development can vary greatly depending on the market, company, and the specific deal structure. For instance, one user reported a base salary of $85,000 with a bonus of around $5,000-$10,000, plus benefits such as 401K and health insurance.

However, another user mentioned a different structure, with a mediocre base salary, a 20% bonus, full benefits, cell reimbursement, company card, and a half a percent equity in every deal. Once they start running projects on their own, they'll also get benchmark bonuses and that equity percentage will go up.

It's important to note that these figures can vary widely across different markets, companies, and deal structures. It's all about what you value in a compensation package.

As for the hours, it wasn't specifically mentioned in the WSO threads, but typically, real estate development can involve long hours, especially when projects are in critical stages.

Remember, it's not just about the numbers, but also about the overall package and how it fits with your career goals and lifestyle. Keep swinging from those trees!
