Top Capital Markets teams in either a gateway market or high-growth secondary markets. Either Investment Sales or Debt & Equity. For example: 

JLL IS & D/E in: Dallas, Denver, Chicago, LA, the list goes on

CBRE IS & D/E in: Atlanta, NYC, Dallas, the list goes on

Eastdil, anywhere

Walker & Dunlop: Chicago, Atlanta, Florida, the list goes on

Newmark: D.C., Houston, NYC, etc

You get the idea. Not about the company, it's about the team and the rainmakers that run said team and how much business they bring in

 

Looking to move into development so I've done some research-

Mega Funds / REIB

Hines/TS/Greystar/Silverstein/elite developers

Elite LPs (Soros, Cascade, etc)

Elite regional developers / elite regional REPE 

Major REITs (Equity Residential, etc.)

Rest of the real estate firms where it is highly variable

I'm not a real estate professional so this is second hand

 

Im actually a second year analyst now at a top ten CRE Lender in a HCOL. My team screens deals for the originators before sending them to IC. Hours are 25-50 a week depending on deal flow. Pay is 70-80k base and bonus at 110% all in. I expect 150k all in next year. From friends i’ve spoken to in REPE, IB, and other debt shops, my pay and hours are pretty nice so don’t expect this as the norm.
