Based on the most helpful WSO content, Wafra's real estate team isn't as widely discussed as some of the larger players, but here's what you should know:
Team and Culture: Wafra is known for being a Kuwaiti-backed investment firm with a focus on alternative investments, including real estate. Their culture is often described as professional but less intense compared to some of the larger private equity or real estate investment firms. However, specifics about their real estate team dynamics might vary depending on the office and leadership.
Compensation: While there isn't much direct data on Wafra's real estate compensation, firms of similar size and focus typically offer competitive pay, especially for mid-level and senior roles. Expect compensation to be in line with other mid-market real estate investment firms, with bonuses tied to performance.
Hours: Hours in real estate investment roles can vary, but Wafra is generally not known for the grueling hours seen in larger private equity firms. That said, deal-heavy periods or deadlines can still demand long hours.
Recruiting: Wafra likely uses a mix of headhunters and in-house recruiting, depending on the role and seniority. For junior to mid-level positions, headhunters are often involved, while senior roles might be filled through direct networks or internal referrals.
If you're considering applying or interviewing, it might be worth reaching out to industry contacts or headhunters specializing in real estate to get more tailored insights.

They’re awesome very long hours but good comp. Work out of Blackstones building as well so that’s a plus. Keep me updated on your experience in their process as I know the team well.
