Ares Real Estate

Saw a few postings for positions on Ares Real Estate team. They posted positions across Originations, DCM, and AM. Any insight into the team; hours, comp, etc?

EDIT: To clarify, this is obviously a highly reputable firm that I would not think twice about accepting an offer from. So things like comp and hours IDGAF and actually want to know more about the Hiring/Interview Process, technicals, real estate specific questions... Anything helps!

I completely agree that I would 100% accept an offer if I received one. Not and end all be all post that will change an offer decision (if that happens). Posted to get a more general idea of the firm and hopefully facilitate discussion on anything from the interview process to teams culture.

Just my 2 cents, but nothing wrong with trying to do a bit of diligence on your potential employers ahead of time. Know it's a tough job market right now, but approaching recruiting with the mindset that you'll just accept anything that comes your way is a pretty good way to end up in a job you hate.

Ares is a great firm, but you also need to consider your specific team? office? role? Also career goals and preferences. I don't know much about specifics regarding Ares, but believe they have a separate equity and debt team, and they also have a team that only does industrials (I think based out of a different office / not LA or NYC). Could be totally wrong so feel free to correct.
