5 year fundraising is the amount of new capital raised in the last 5 years for value/opportunistic funds for new investments. AUM is total assets (value of properties) currently under management by a company. Being in the top 100 doesn’t necessarily mean you should stay there, it depends on what you’re looking for. Some markets pay much worse than others, core to core+ strategy focused shops won’t pay as much. Some of the large firms in this list will fall under that category. Work life balance tends to be better at some of these. Aggressive opportunistic shops normally require longer hours but at a significant pay markup. Unlike other fields of finance like traditional PE and IB where you can expect relatively similar pay/lifestyle across the board, there is very little similarity among RE firms so you need to do your research. That being said, you have larger flexibility in what kind of lifestyle you want in CRE. The world is yo oyster dawg.
