Why would you be concerned that their pay is competitive with IB? They pay well. The interview process is pretty intense, and they are very selective. People I know there were approached as well, not randomly applying. Even with connections had a pretty long interview process, but said comp was great.
Is the bonus actually 100% of base? Seems ridiculous for a REIT to pay that much.
Usually REITs don’t pay that well compared to REPEs but the WLB is good.
Probably has to do with what silo you are in, a smaller shop in sense of employees directly connected to PnL, with a decent amount of volume. What i gathered both my former colleagues/friends got solid offers but had to prove themselves in the interview.
Market's bad I don't see what it matters if someone is looking to hop and a place offers a pay increase, interview and feel them out. If you aren't looking to hop, end-of-year talks are coming; get an offer and make your place match. Like, what's the hold up? They are an established firm with tons of information on Google and Bloomberg Terminal about them.
I have no doubts they are legit. I have doubts the bonus is actually 100%. How many REITs structure comp like that? Just them?
So if you do interview, I'd strongly suggest looking into how they make money; it's not just from being a traditional REIT. They buy and invest in actual MBS and CMBS as well as REPO, so they have an aspect of a Wall Street desk as well. So on the street I know plenty that make like 180-250K as an associate, but the bonus once they get into the PnL, could be 300-700K on CMBS desks.
These are not regular REITs...so the pay makes sense. They are not generating equity returns and paying a 3-4% dividend...they are levered to hell and take rate/basis bets on Agency MBS/CMBS, this is a trading role not a CRE role. Source i work in trading at a Mreit...
