Eastdil Secured London thoughts?

I'm currently a senior Real Estate IBD analyst at a non BB/EB bank (such as HSBC/Nomura/Jefferies..) in London looking to move into REPE. However, I've had no luck with getting interviews.

I was recently contacted by Eastdil Secured for a position in their London office. However, in London I've not heard of them before and it seems they are mainly US dominate but I'm not sure?

Does anyone have any thoughts on them? Pay at the associate levels, hours/culture, exit ops into REPE from London office, how exit opps would compare with a non BB/EB like HSBC/Nomura/Jefferies etc.

Overall whether this would put me in a better position for REPE or whether it's best to remain and keep trying at my bank?

Thank you.

 

Eastdil in London is dope. comp: high, hours: long, culture: good, exit opps: I think eastdil has the strongest name for exit opps in RE.

 

Thanks for the reply.

When you say high comp what’s this relative to? Do you mean higher than BB pay / market standard and on par with the top EBs? Any idea what a first year associate here could make?

Also when you say high hours do you mean higher than IBD market standard? I’d say 60/70 weekly hours is the benchmark for an IBD associate.

Thanks.

 

From what I understand they are slowly gathering steam in the UK (and Europe) but, regardless, almost everyone in London REPE would be aware of them. They do high value deals (Single buildings, portfolio sales and financing) and you'd be working for the top REPE firms in London as your clients. Will definitely open doors into REPE.

 

Worked with them during my yearlong internship in REPE London. Can not shed any light on their culture/compensation however can confirm that all seniors considered it to be a top shop in RE. Would definitely increase your chances of landing a position with a top REPE shop.
