Los Angeles REPE, Development, & Family Offices
I wanted to try and get a community list together of Los Angeles-area REPE firms, development shops, and worthwhile family offices to target for full time positions. I struck out in megafund/megadeveloper recruitment and need to hit the pavement networking, but given the state of the hiring market, I’m sure I’m not the only one.
Any insights into which are the best places to work, which have terrible cultures, etc. is also appreciated.
Based on the most helpful WSO content, here are some insights into Los Angeles-area REPE firms, development shops, and family offices:

Development Shops:
Family Offices:
Culture Insights:
If you're networking, focus on alumni connections, LinkedIn outreach, and attending local real estate events. Tailor your approach based on the firm's culture and your career goals. Good luck!

I'm pretty sure there's been a thread on this before. While there is that, i do think that it has been a while since that list was updated, meaning some shops that have gone belly-up or left the market.
I've heard CIM is pretty schweddy.
I interviewed for them back in the day, albeit on the other side of the country from OP.
To date it was the only process I pulled myself out of as opposed to getting hired or declined.
The higher ups talking shit about each other mid interview and getting angry about each other unprompted over stupid shit like "who the real developer was."
If that's the face they're showing to a random, I can't even imagine how toxic it is/was behind the scenes.
My wife's friend ended up dating the guy who took the job for a while and turns out I was right.
