Starwood Capital (Comp, Reputation(vsBrookfield), future carry)

I am at the final round for the  Acquision analyst at Starwood. I have a questions regarding:
1. How is the Comp look like for REPE such as BX, SW, Carlyle etc.. (Analyst, Associate, VP, Director, MD)

2. Is starwood highly regarded in the industry? I know Starwood is really good but how about comparison between REPEs such as Brookfiled, Carlyle OaTree, KKR etc.. (exclusded BX cuz obviously BX is kinda top)

3. Related to first question, how much money I can make possibly in the future?  I know vanilla PE seniors make $millions with carry, and REPE pays slightly less than vanilla PEs & IBs. However, how about senior level, is REPE still pays less than IB seniors?

1. You will be paid very well and comp is inline with other groups.  they'll work you to death though.

2. Starwood is a highly regarded firm.  Comparing top REPE shops is for idiots.

3. One step at a time there, Kiddo

 

I wouldn't be worried about this now; you are lucky to be getting an interview with the market repricing for a higher for longer in yields, finally. I know more layoffs are coming in the lending and banking sectors in relation to Real Estate. If you haven't even gotten through the process, don't worry about pay till the end. Also, they are one of the it's him companies, so you are going to take it regardless.

You'll be working insanely hard with long nights with steady fire drills, making lots of cheddar cheese (yum), and will possibly burn out after a year or two as it's usually a revolving door after a few years, unless you're a (hardo) savage. Culture is a mixed bag depending on the group. You will for sure learn a lot and have an excellent experience, but you may not be in the vibiest of vibes on a daily basis for a few years. Good luck!
