Any Chicago REPE firms that pay well?

As title says, are there any Chicago REPE firms that pay well? Would be talking at the associate level and what I would consider good would be like $220-250+ all in at associate.

Currently underpaid despite fund claiming otherwise, ignorantly so imo.

 

For associates? Not even $200k? So a $100k base for an associate..? This seems wrong…I work in development and figured REPE would be higher paying but this is super low if true.

 

For Chicago firms, I think Walton and Prime probably pay around those numbers ($100 - $125k base, 100% bonus target), but they don't post jobs often. My advice would be to look at firms that are not headquartered in Chicago/are east-coast based. I work for a REPE firm in the Chicago office that has a much larger east coast presence and that level of comp at the associate/senior associate level would be standard.

 

Any thoughts on Prime for their AM team? Have an interview coming up
