This information is about 1 year stale at this point in time. I received a job offer from one of the groups you listed for an acquisitions associate position. The position was in a reasonable CoL market (Nashville/Denver/Dallas). Base was $105k with a 25% discretionary bonus. The benefits were great (health/vision/dental insurance, 401k matching, generous PTO). It wasn't the highest paying job out there, but quality of life would've been great.

 

In a secondary market you'll be starting at around $150k all in. Life Co RE investment groups have some of the best job security in the business though. Zero layoffs during the GFC at both cos i've worked for. They're also great with annual pay raises but the promotions can be slower. (low turnover)

 

Minus qui ut dolorem ea unde magni. Nihil nobis aliquam ut assumenda fuga eum.

Reiciendis laborum ut minus maxime ea aut. Perferendis animi dolores magni et. Molestiae aliquid deserunt tenetur maxime. Accusamus sit quia quidem.
