"Analyst 1 in RE - Comm"How does this industry attract any talent whatsoever if you’re paying people $55k all in?

Because I couldn't imagine working 80+ hours on numbering pitch books that no one will read the content of.

Because real estate allows to to be entrepreneurial down the road. You shouldn't be in the industry for a paycheck.

I think you're missing the larger picture, RE careers happen anywhere, the majority of which are outside of the countries most expensive cities and have work hours like 9:30 to 6:00. Whereas IB happens pretty much exclusively in the country's (or world's) most expensive cities.

These salary/bonus questions are silly without a fuck ton more context. A Dallas guy could be responding to an Orlando guy while the NYC fella trying to get into RE just jumped off a building reading that.
