Lol grown man acting like a child getting so triggered over a small question
AEW pays $15k more than blackstone, be sure to apply there
Isn’t their analyst base like 75 on Glassdoor?
Oaktree, BGO
Thank you
GIC, Angelo Gordon, Hudson Advisors/Lone Star, QuadReal, Clarion (though heard they're a bit below market)
Angelo Gordon is below market for analyst pay last I remember. Got an offer from them at start of pandemic
Thank you
Hudson advisors/ Lone Star is low 1s for analysts, I got an offer there. Not exactly stellar pay, especially in NYC. Who told you pay was high?
I know pay won’t be be stellar high, but that doesn’t sound bad honestly. Thank you for the insight.
Any sense of hours at Hudson in NYC?
Low to mid 1s sounds pretty in line for analysts in REPE except if you are at like a BX, Starwood (but then working constant 70-80+ hour weeks)
Thank you!
Thank you
No one can answer this question and put a list together of the top 100 paying firms. No one has worked at all 100 and considering pay is confidential, it’s almost impossible to do. Best bet to answer this question is speak with recruiters who work with these firms and than compile the list yourself overtime.
That requires work, and what most of these people want is a fantasy.
I mean, even if someone could actually provide that list, and do so accurately... how is that information even helpful? Getting an offer at any of those shops is hard to do, much less pinpointing one or two in particular, and it's not like your Yr 1 salary is at all indicative of what comp will be five years later.
Buying a Powerball ticket and fantasizing is much better.
You can estimate, with great accuracy, investment banking salaries because everyone is leaking HR emails and offers.
You cannot do the same with REPEs because we haven’t shared.
Not sure how you think “hard work” will solve opaque pay. I’m sure HR at these firms love cucks like you.
A guy I go to school with at USC in the RED program said that BX is paying 1st year Analysts all in 210k in NYC. Hes a known capper tho and working back office so take it with a grain of salt
anyone know comp for senior associates at bx?
BX first year around 220 he’s right
Can you specify what back office role does he work in by chance?
Why the fuck does it matter
BX, Apollo, KKR, Starwood (idk if Brookfield is on the same pay level) and good luck
Super curious on what Brookfield pays their Analysts and Associates in investments. Someone from my school is going there, super deserving, but idk them to well
Sadly I am not as close with the people I know that got Brookfield AM acquisitions FT. It is a lot higher than what small shops pay for sure.
Brookfield's Investments team is more in line with traditional private equity and BX/Starwood than any other REPE, so I'd expect pay to be in line with those comps.
Brookfield is a bit lower. Maybe heavier salary but low bonus (yet still below total comp at the others). From knowledge of senior associate / vp roles vs the others.
I understand this thread sounded obnoxious to some, but I think it's worthwhile question. Comp in REPE / development has such a lack of transparency that it would be extremely helpful to have a decent list with base / bonus / carry details by firm. There was a comp survey here on Google docs but it didn't list firms.
My current shop was extremely opaque regarding bonus & carry during offer negotiations, and living in a HCOL location it would've been really helpful to know and have decent comparisons. Found out recently that base salaries haven't changed in over a decade, and bonuses are basically just a wild-ass-guess. Can't pay preschool tuition with carry that's 3-5 years away...if it pays out at all.
I think they were pretty high when they set them ($125k) but starting to feel under market with inflation..
Great point!
3-5 years out… good luck buddy, try 8-10
Bro, what? Lmao. If your goal is transparency in pay to somehow benefit yourself, how is knowing / making a thread of the HIGHEST PAYING REAL ESTATE FIRMS TO EVER EXIST going to help you in that endeavor? So knowing Blackstone is paying $500k for Associates is going to give you leverage when discussing comp at your no-fund operator doing Value-add investments in Jersey?The Google Doc is all anyone should realistically need in the name of transparency; you don't need actual firm names, it includes fund/firm size and geography right there for you.Getting pretty tired of the blatant fantasizing kids here are doing for really no other reason than apparent erotic stimulation. Really begs the question what you all are doing when you close your eyes and ask us to tell you "how big Blackstone really is" on essentially a daily basis.
