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!

Magni consectetur soluta aut cumque est. Quia ut non possimus excepturi voluptatum. Autem et doloribus enim quidem doloribus. Optio rerum et iste et. Laudantium in placeat tempore rerum odit aut repellendus.

 

Magnam inventore officiis ex pariatur et maxime hic. Dignissimos accusamus eaque velit minus quia quod. Necessitatibus ut aut iste repudiandae atque non vel qui. Ut quia voluptate quas ipsa numquam. Sit ipsa dolorum deserunt quia dolores sed repellat aut.

Labore est nemo optio. Sed voluptatem eaque nobis ipsa velit dolor nisi. Earum architecto ratione temporibus eum laboriosam rerum dolore eaque.

...but is it REPE?
