Investment Analyst in RE - Comm:

It’s not hard there’s just not that many roles right now. The actual barrier to entry is purely who you know, timing, etc. the amount of experience and skill sets you’d need going in for a JLL/CBRE are not as much as you’d need going to the buyside. I worked at JLL/CB and got a full time role in a tier 2 market purely by networking. You’ll need to network and be a team fit. It’s brokerage so far more relationship driven than anything.


It seems like the barrier to entry would be higher with some of the comps I see thrown around even at an analyst/associate level 2-3 yrs in.

Investment Analyst in RE - Comm:

What are the comps you’ve seen being thrown around? A lot of people are going to reference the boom years where they slaved like IB hours and made good money. That’s not the case anymore. Want to work a lot of make 65-80k and a potentially okay bonus? Then go into brokerage rn. That’s pretty bad for the hours imo. I made less than 70k my first year at a top brokerage shop because my team (that normally does very well) did not so great. Even in the good years tho you’d make more but have to work 3x more than kids who went to the buyside. In brokerage I’d also only work at JLL/Eastdil. If you want to have an option to go to the principal side after than I wouldn’t do any other brokerage. Honestly just Eastdil is worth it imo


The team I’ve spoken to has thrown out numbers as high as $400k for associates in boom years. They are also one of the top producing teams in the hottest market. I even thought 400’s sounded very high, I was expecting to hear more in the 200’s range in a good year.
I’m not as concerned with comp as I am knowledge. I am trying to go somewhere to learn as much as I possibly can for 3-5 years and decide if I want to exit or not at that point.
