If someone wants a SB, go back to the two main threads about Comp and input the data into the google doc

Funniest
"CRE" Also, lol @ the $50 visa gift card bonus. Christ some companies are cheap.

Calling the "Need Advice on Gift Cards for EOY Analyst Bonuses" thread that will pop up in a week.

Can be good if it starts with something like "last year I gave them Visa gift cards but was thinking of switching it up to Olive Garden this year...we have one across the street from our office!"

 
"CRE12345" Hey guys,

Continuing off a previous post that was a couple weeks outdated.....Someone had an idea to create a google doc so everyone can enter their comp range so everyone will be able to get a better idea of the range of comp they should be expecting.....

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ZG2FIjkUJKxJDgqcc-56E4uLADlr3qe…

OP, once the doc gets more entries, it might be a good idea to standardize the "Shop Type" column with a drop down so the doc can be easily sorted.

 

Same. I provided my comp and now it's gone

"goodL1fe" Glad to see my idea implemented. I'm sure we're all very thankful!

At least we know the troll that's been deleting all the info now...

"Who am I? I'm the guy that does his job. You must be the other guy."
 

I think the answer is clear. Most WSO members are simply unaware that anything exists between NYC and Chicago, or Chicago and LA, so to try and explain the name and location of another "city" in the midwest, is just a waste of time. As for Texans, whether you ask what city, state, or country? The answer is always Texas.

Alternatively I'd suggest it's easy for the $1-3B PE NYC office acquisition guys to remain anonymous, but once you get outside of the major markets, there is only so many $6-10B REIT/PE/Family Offices, located in a particular city, focused on certain strategy of investing in a defined asset class within a specific region. If somebody cared to research, anonymity can disappear quickly.

Also, salaries likely are not very different between Austin/Houston/Dallas or Indy/Columbus/Pitt, so I don't think we're sacrificing quality.

 

A lot of entries are getting deleted and changed, and I cant keep up with these to make sure everything is locked so I created a Google Form per the recommendation mentioned earlier in this chat. This takes LITERALLY 5 seconds to fill out...if you fill it out I will post everynight a pdf or excel of all submitted answers. Up to you guys

Really great idea and honestly great execution on your part. The initial document was really well done and it was cool to see everyone typing together in real time and share with the group. Unfortunate that someone (or multiple people) kept f-ing with everything.

This is illuminating, thanks for doing this.

Fun data to pore over. Now I have so many, “Would the person who wrote X in B6 please elaborate” follow-ups haha.

"CodyParkey" Curious, does capital markets = investment sales or is that mainly referring to debt/equity?

Unless you're at CBRE, in which case it means Investment Sales. Everywhere else, it means debt/ equity. D/E at CBRE is Debt & Structured Finance. Their person in charge of naming division needs a promotion....

"AB84" Well, I owe OP $25,000. A couple of weeks ago i showed this google sheet to my immediate boss and showed him the gap in my base salary to average of my title. My immediate boss didn't even know what my comp was and was surprised to see how under market i was. Today he told me the company is bringing me to market. Time to celebrate!

Holy shit, congrats.

Hah, @CRE12345" send this man an invoice. Love the RE forum.

Just came back here to bump this up. Is there a way to keep this at the top section or WSO RE Hall of Fame?

Have internationals converted currencies when posting? Some Londoners have posted numbers in GBP whereas others have a dollar sign next to them

 

I copied the old entries into a new google sheet and made it public. I realize the OP had issues with people tampering with the original worksheet but hopefully were all good boys and girls here and can contain ourselves. I know a lot of people refer to this when negotiating comp, myself included. See the link below....

Sorry to jump in an an old post. Currently considering switching over to brokerage but hear a ton of different things on comp. have a good friend who is a second year associate at JLL in industrial real estate brokerage. Says he pull in well over 200k all in. Do you this is realistic? Seems high compared to some of the numbers on here
