What kind of money can be made for example at a REPE fund or working for a developer?
I want to know what to expect, how is compensation structured, what will it max out at? Etc.
Ultimate goal REPE or developer, so if anyone has experience in those I’d love to hear.
I am a senior in College. Passed Level 1 CFA, going after Level 2 in June!

The above link should give you the info you are looking for.
I’ll summarize:
From highest paying to lowest paying
Hedge Fund PE Distressed corporate debt Venture capital (could switch with above depending on AUM) Buyside leveraged finance Equity or credit research on buyside asset manager Investment Banking Sellside Equity research Sell-side sales / trading Real estate private equity Real estate debt fund REIT Developer RE loan special servicer
As you can see all of the real estate jobs are at the bottom of the list. Pay is not good or prestigious. Not even including real estate brokerage or life co lending on this list
Pay is better than most jobs, your privilege is showing
Sure real estate pay is better than most jobs. But is it better than any of the jobs I listed above? No, that’s why I created the list
Here you are folks, a ranking of compensation for high finance jobs created by a second semester sophomore in college. Surely this is extremely accurate and reliable as he has worked in every one of these industries during the course of his 19 year life.
The listing is accurate for associate pay. You don’t have to work in an industry to know the general layout of compensation. I know people who have worked or received job offers in all of the industries above, and that’s all you need
This might be the worst post I’ve ever seen on wso
Haha this is the worst post l’ve seen.
The reality is it’s difficult to rank real estate pay because it’s so variable especially on the development and broker side. There are brokers clearing $1.5 MM a year (that’s not the top pay) and there are guys are mom and pop brokerages making 75K a year. Development generally isn’t a high salary gig compared to I-banking, but the back end can be huge and makes this guys distressed corporate debt pay look like a joke.
Yeah RE brokerage might be the highest paying sales job there is (RE brokerage and enterprise tech sales are prob the top 2). I personally know several brokers in 2nd tier markets clearing 7 figures in their early 30s, although low 6 figures is more typical.
REPE will be on average, the highet salaried jobs.
Brokers will have the highest ceiling for single-year earnings.
Developers who make it will have the best path to balance sheet/lifetime wealth.
