Is the role in the Southeast? Assuming this is an LP?
Maybe $100-150k base? Seems in today's market firms are paying under market for more experience since there are so many candidates per role.
Yes to both questions. And thank you, that’s helpful. Kind of what I was expecting for the same reason…
I would say closer to $100k then for base. Know roles in NYC paying $90-130k for 2-4 years of experience then taking someone with 5-6 years and maybe giving a little bit more. It's an employers market.
People on this forum get paid terribly for some reason. If you’re at a top REPE fund you get paid well, that’s all there is to it
