Based on the most helpful WSO content, here's a comparison between MSREI (Morgan Stanley Real Estate Investing) and GSAM REPE (Goldman Sachs Asset Management Real Estate Principal Investment Area) for Associate roles in London:
Reputation: Both MSREI and GSAM REPE have strong reputations in the market. MSREI is known as a megafund in real estate and is highly competitive, similar to Blackstone/Starwood Capital. GSAM REPE, with its various divisions like core-plus/value-add and secondaries/co-invest, also holds a significant position in the market.
Compensation: While specific compensation figures are not provided, it is mentioned that compensation at a middle-market London REPE fund was in line with pre-covid banking, suggesting competitive salaries in the sector. It can be inferred that both MSREI and GSAM REPE, being large and reputable firms, would offer compensation that is competitive within the industry.
Deal-Flow/Mandate: MSREI has a strong track record and is known for its significant exit opportunities, indicating a robust deal flow and a diverse mandate. GSAM REPE, with its various divisions, also suggests a broad mandate that includes core-plus/value-add strategies and secondaries/co-investments.
Returns: Specific returns are not discussed in the context provided, but given the stature of both firms, it can be assumed that they aim for strong performance in their real estate investments.
General Perceptions: In Europe and the US, both MSREI and GSAM REPE are perceived as leading players in the real estate investment sector. Their global presence and significant capital under management contribute to their solid industry standing.
For more detailed insights, it would be beneficial to look at specific threads on Wall Street Oasis discussing these firms or to reach out to industry professionals who have experience with MSREI and GSAM REPE.

Pretty sure GS is going through a restructuring. I'm not sure I would be there right now. MS and GS were pretty similar before the restructuring tho.
Thanks for the input - so you think from a comp / recognition standpoint, MS and GS stand pretty equal these days?
Yes, GSAM RE team has laid off lot of ppl (not only juniors) since Q4 '22. Also Goldman has publicly stated that they want to reduce their exposure on real estate investing.
Years ago GS team was top notch (the old SSG, which then was turned into GSAM), now I think it's still a great place but with uncertain prospects.
