Starwood London AM
Have a recruiter quoting around £220K AIC for an associate role. Any insight into the hours/experience here. Seems like a more strategic/exciting AM role than others I have seen. Will it be as sweaty as acquisitions?
Based on the most helpful WSO content, Asset Management (AM) roles, especially at a firm like Starwood, tend to have better hours compared to acquisitions roles. While acquisitions can often involve grueling hours, particularly during live deals or deal closings, AM roles are generally less "sweaty" and more predictable.
However, the workload and hours can still vary depending on the firm's culture, team size, and the specific responsibilities of the role. For example, some AM roles may involve strategic oversight, portfolio management, and working on value-add initiatives, which can be exciting and less transactional than acquisitions.
If the recruiter is quoting £220K AIC, it suggests a high level of responsibility and potentially a more strategic focus, which aligns with your observation. While it may not be as intense as acquisitions, you should still expect occasional spikes in workload, especially if the role involves significant interaction with senior stakeholders or strategic decision-making.
