Anyone heard of Penzance? Looks like they mainly work in the DC area. Looking at a position there and was curious about their reputation, culture, etc. Seems like they’re pretty active.

Mid comp / vibrations - know a few guys with 3-5 YOE there
What do you mean by vibrations?
Very active but also very restricted to working in their geographic backyard. Depending on how active the overall DC Metro real estate market is, is how busy they'll be, is what I'm getting at
They are looking to expand to southeast, not clear which markets. Friend got a recruiter call on a position very recently
Good shop for DC if that’s what you’re wondering, you’ll be able to jump to other DC firms down the road.
What about to jump to a MF like BX or Hines?
Know of someone junior there that moved to Carlyle. Penzance is more of the exit opportunity than a launching pad to other local firms.
No idea on MFs. I’d say no but nothing is impossible.
I more mean if you start at Penzance on their deal team and are competent you’ll be able to jump around the circuit of local players (DC operators/family offices/developers etc) as a career.
