Comp: 115k
Title: Analyst
YOE: 1
City: DC
Comp: All in 105k
Can we report as “$100k base plus 10% bonus” for example. It’s helpful to see the base and bonus breakout.
Title: Development Associate
Location: ATL
YOE: 4
Base: $110k
Cash Bonus: $40k
Co-Invest Bonus: $20-$25k
That’s great for the location!
TCC?
How exactly does the co-invest bonuses work?
You get ~$25k in on the GP position?
So you earn promote and distributions based on your percentage of the GP equity?
I.e. the GP (who you work for) put in $1M & you get $25k of that. They get paid 8% ($80,000.. so you get $2,000 [$25k/$1M=2.5%…2.5% of $80,000 = $2,000])
Every year they give you another $25k for a different deal? You also get a peice of sale proceeds?

Title: Analyst
YOE: 2 (First year in development)
Location: LA/OC/SD
Comp: 90k + 30% target bonus
Title: Acquisitions Analyst
Market: LA
YOE: 2; 1st year with firm
Firm size: $25bn in total transactions
Salary: $100k base; bonus unknown
Carry: None; potential for co-invest in the next year or two
Hours: 25-50 - depends on the week, typically 35
Is this solid? How valuable is the co-investment option?
wtf are those hours, there are weeks that you only work 3 days?
seems very good for YOE and depending on bonus borders on ludicrous given the hours.
co-invest - depends on what that means, can you co-invest in the GP? then you're basically looking at 5x-10x the money you put in at realization assuming the fund/deal does fine.
I am not involved once the development process begins, so there have been a few weeks this summer where there has been little to do and I worked ~5 hours each day.
It would also be a co-investment into the GP fund itself. What I am asking here is if my bonus is around 30% and my base increases ~10% each year, would the co-investment option be worth staying put? Or if I am really trying to make some cash, should I look to jump to a more institutional developer / PE shop with higher bases/bonuses but no carry or co-invest.
You guys get a 5-10X multiple on the GP portion of your deals ?
Title: VP
YOE: 5
Location: NYC

Hours: 40-50 hours a week
Am I underpaid at 70k base even with the co-invest perk?
Frankly with those hours and first year that sounds like a good gig. If you’re not at 100 base in 2-3 years I would start looking around.

No comment just wanna say congrats on the career switch
Thanks! It wasn't easy...
is the switch worth it for someone currently in IB? seems like a pretty steep pay cut, especially since IB pay has gone up throughout the pandemic pretty significantly
Depends on your situation. The pay cut was significant for me, but RE is a long game. Thankfully my spouse has done well at her corporate gig and makes over 2x what I do - can be a tough ego pill to swallow sometimes.
Hours are much, much better than IB, culture & coworkers at my firm much better than my last few gigs, and the work is more interesting to me than energy where I spent ~10 yrs. I see my wife & infant more and am a lot happier at work, so it has been worth it for me. That said, I'm debating looking for a place with higher base & bonus and less focus on promote.
