Starwood REPE (Straight Out Of UG)
Thoughts on Starwood (Capital Group, not the REIT/Trust)? I've heard it's a sweatshop, but the experience, compensation, and exit opps are elite. I'd love to hear some more thoughts on starting as analyst in PM/AM/Acq straight out of undergrad.

Great job if you can get it.

This question has been asked and answered 100 times on this site and the fact you are asking this shows you likely have no chance of getting a job there
No you
Harsh but true. Can almost guarantee no self-respecting analyst (or prospect) at a mega-fund uses WSO for Q&A.
I wouldn’t necessarily agree. It’s a helpful resource to learn about potential employers once you learn to filter through the college kid / inexperienced opinions which are typically just regurgitation of prior threads / crowd view. That said, strong candidates generally use the search function first and ask more insightful questions than should I start at one of the most reputable REPE funds.
douchebag lmao, Starwood is an easy shop to get into. talked to like 3 guys there and took an excel test (easy) and got an offer lmfao
If you're looking for a name with clout, this is the cream of the crop. But unless you have an impeccable background- don't get your hopes up.
Why is it so hard to get a Starwood gig?
They hire almost exclusively from Ivies.
You need good bone structure
Interviewed at Rialto out of undergrad, got the impression it was very sweaty. Would imagine Starwood to be similar if not worse.
