Debt and Equity Brokerage Analyst Compensation

Hi all,

I saw a couple posts on compensation for analyst positions in debt/equity teams, but the numbers seem to be all over the place. I'm pretty far into recruiting for several firms and I would love to get some of you insights on what I can expect for comp/ base salary. For reference I'm interviewing in a HCOL gateway city on the west coast and I'm coming in with one year of non-real estate professional experience. The teams are all high performing and currently have allegedly record setting deal flow. Would 70-80k base range be reasonable to expect?

Many thanks!

It’s been said, but is very true, it’s highly team dependent. For example, via the legacy HFF model, analyst on D/E teams at JLL are eligible to share in the analyst bonus pool, where basically 4% of all gross commissions from the team go to year end analyst bonuses. If your team has a record year, then that could be very very good for your year end bonus. I think some teams are structured similarly for other shops like Eastdil/CBRE/Cushman, etc. 

 

Offer came out to about 75k + Bonus, and it looks like the deal flow this year is insane across all major RE markets. It's about in line with my expectations and I'm expecting to work my ass off. The producers are real gunners and go through deals like BB IBD go through analysts. I'm most likely going to spend all my base on living expenses and bank the bonus EOY.
