Comp at the associate level is widely varied on the RE side.  Depends a lot on the group as there is more of a blurring of lines on job duties.  At an IB, you'll largely have uniform tasks at associate level, VP, etc.

I know associates that make more money and have more responsibilities than VP's, and I know people with 'Managing Director' titles that don't make jack shit.  Definitely still somewhat of the wild west in that regard.  The hiring processes/job openings are also much more erratic, so if I were you I'd secure the interviews first where you can and then worry about the pay.  If you have interviews with the above mentioned firms already, then different story.

Currently an analyst at one of the top BB REIB groups. Confident that I'll land most if not all of their interviews. Asked this question because I was debating whether to recruit for REPE or do the IB asso promote (pays around 250k for asso1 and 400k all-in for asso3). 

 

I don't think you're going to see that level of comp at an associate level at places like Bentall or AG, but I can't say with absolute confidence.  That said, I think it will be worth your time to interview and see what the offers are.  My firm has a large number of recruits from BB's so I have to assume they are comfortable enough with the comp to make the switch.
