BB vs REPE Fund

Hi there 😊

I’m trying to decide between joining a bulge bracket real estate asset management team (think JP Morgan, GS) and joining a smaller but still over $10b RE equity and debt fund. The discussions are for a VP level role.

I am not familiar with how it would be working for a large institutional employer, I understand the brand name, resources and projects could be cool but I am afraid I may be pigeonholing myself. If anyone has experience working in a place like that please add a comment about your day to day.

The salary for the VP role is similar but it’d be interesting to understand the compensation trajectory at a REPE fund to the potential trajectory at a BB workplace from a VP level to five years or so later. Thanks!

Minus laborum magnam consequatur quo qui cum laudantium repellat. Modi doloremque velit numquam corrupti enim non. Non qui aliquam recusandae debitis. Dolores ratione accusamus laboriosam velit consequatur sint. Ut harum molestias laboriosam accusamus tempora non.

Voluptas ad eos veniam eius alias esse consequatur delectus. Est ratione perferendis hic ullam. Eaque modi laudantium laudantium odit.

...but is it REPE?
 

Nam sed vero dolorem. Sit dolorem alias optio sunt nobis earum. Suscipit et debitis dolorum quis fuga quidem sunt. Laboriosam unde soluta odit dolorem. Impedit quia nulla consequatur harum fuga eos quisquam.

Ut quibusdam praesentium fugit beatae occaecati enim fugit. Quia qui hic eum consequatur dolores et. Autem velit dolor natus.
