Hey y'all, I received an offer for an acquisitions associate role with an owner-operator in a major west coast market and wanted to hear the community's thoughts on the comp package. They came in at $135K base, target 20 - 25% EOY bonus, which seems a bit low...

Also including my experience if it's helpful: YOE: ~3 years FT experience as an analyst on a top D/E placement team; 2 internships on REIT deal teams Education: T15 MBA
