Dude, you serious... It's Starwood not Dime Bank.

Starwood? Never heard of them. Are they a regional player?

Edit: Damn, rough crowd

Commercial Real Estate Developer
 

You can effectively move into any group from Starwood, even if its Asset Management. Buddy of mine is an Acquisitions Analyst and works 90-100 weeks in the Greenwich office. All in comp $150-200K.

Monkeys - anyone have info on this group? Comp, exits, culture? Other posts have acqusitions being sweatshop-ish but what about asset management? Good group/name to have on resume to eventually pivot into acquisitions?

Comp: Around $120-140k all-in for analysts (EDIT: previously said $140-150k which may have been more of a one-off)

Culture: Based on my discussions with an analyst/associate who worked there recently (non-CT office), it's an understaffed sweatshop. They have lost a good amount of junior guys over the past year. Expect to regularly work past 9pm and weekends. Also you are looked down upon by the Ivory Tower crew up in CT.

Exits: The brand name on your resume will open a lot of doors, which may make it worth tolerating for a year or two.

If you have any more specific questions feel free to PM me.

Not 140-150k all in for analysts.

Much less.

 

I knew (don't keep in touch) their stud analyst on the WC who was promoted and relocated to NYC. Saw this kid at all the good RE events and he didn't look too droopy eyed. He did acquisitions/AM for them. Based on our limited discussions, he didn't seem to burn the midnight oil all that often. No more so than normal for acquisitions anyways. Sounds like EC is a bit different culturally.

Is the job SF NY or Green?

Either way, the pay and prestige may be worth a year or two of torture. I've spoken on this in other threads, but a top tier name on your rez will open capital raising doors as well as exit opp doors.

 

Anyone interviewing with the Hotel Asset Management group? Interview coming up and curious as to whether or not this team differs at all from the culture, comp, exit ops, etc. laid out above.
