Live Recruitment Comp Tracker - Offers
Given recruitment is hot right now (especially for juniors), I figured this would be a helpful chain to track offers (or even market bumps) for a wider breadth of data points (contrary to the compensation post that tracks accepted offers)...
Basic Template (feel free to post multiple times if you're the stud with options)...
*Omit as much as you want even if it's just posting comp.
Industry: AM/Acquisitions/Development/Brokerage/Debt Production/REIB/Etc.
Title: [Self Explanatory]
Market: [City or region, main office or branch]
Firm Size: [AUM, employees, global vs regional firm, strategy - core, value-add, opp fund]
Product/Asset Class: [Main food groups + alternatives]
Experience: [Years & any other relevant info like graduate degrees]
Comp: Base + Bonus + Any other incentives like carry + Any cool benefits worth mentioning
*If you want, include previous compensation to show (hopefully) a jump
**Whether you accepted or not. If no, reasoning if you want.
Industry: Acquisitions
Title: Analyst
Market: Midwest
Firm Size: 5bn+ AUM, Middle-Market Opp Fund
Product/Asset Class: Asset Class & Geography Agnostic
Experience: 1yr experience at MF
Comp: 85k Base + 30-50% Bonus + 5K Sign-on
Eh I had some pretty specific details but decided to exclude.
Basically first year associate roles for REPE, even at equivalent firms and similar cities, range from $150k-$225k all-in. There are also places that pay more than $225k but I did not get to interview at those
Shoot, I need to get my comp up. I'm hoping to get a bump to the $150K range in the Midwest after my first year as an associate.

How many YOE are you referencing? I’m guessing 3-5 but titles in real estate range from firm to firm so it’s sometimes easier to compare comp based on experience.
This is for 2-4 years of experience
Industry: Acquisitions
Title: Associate
Market: Midwest (Suburban VLCOL)
Firm Size: $800M AUM, Middle-Market
Product/Asset Class: Office/Industrial - Domestically (USA)
Experience: 2yr experience within REPE + 2yr in banking
Comp: 75k Base + 50% Bonus + 1% Carry
Seems quite low base
Agreed, we are very small so they try to get to the lower band of market rate by basing most of my comp on incentives. Carry is equivalent to about $500K in 5-7 years so my all in is a bit higher, though not guaranteed. My comp is getting reevaluated next month, so we'll see what type of bump I get.
Role: Acquisitions
Title: VP
Market: US
Firm Size: $100M (Sponsor)
Product/Asset Class: Hotel + Resi
Experience: 6 years
Comp: 200k Base + 2.5% firm carry + 3% fund carry
Damn $200k base after 6 years exp AND carry. Good for you
How does firm carry differ to fund carry?
Firm carry - ownership in the dev company that collects all the fees (i.e. acq fees, dev fees, am fees, ts fees etc). All CF leftover after firm expenses gets distributed to partners.
Fund carry - ownership in the fund that all deal profit flows through

Turned down an offer from month back. Im at a direct competitor, felt our platform was better and have better long term growth (and also love the team / manager so honestly was hard to jump ship). Also not great timing. Hopefully correct decision.
Vp, debt fund (role was at 50b+ PE group, at their re credit team). Originations/investments team
7 years exp at a bank and my current debt fund
200k and 100-125%+
NYC
id also add from my experience / talking to recruiters - associates should be aiming for $150-275k all in (larger range but nonetheless pending roles specifics) and senior associate/Veeps in the $325-450k+ ballpark and have a discussion on carry at that point. Honestly had recruiters calls for roles I wasn't interested in (BB debt AM teams) and was surprised at some comp (higher than expected). That specific debt AM role at a bank was $325K+ for senior associates/junior level vp (idk surprised me). Note most of this data above is debt fund oriented/some real estate finance teams/special sits for banks and some equity... (also all NYC). If you're looking at larger names KKR/MSREI etc, you're on the higher end of the above (BXMT senior associate was $350k from chatting). Hopefully this is a little helpful to guys looking.
what recruiting firms work on filling associate roles? I was under the impression they usually focus on VP+ roles that require 4-5 years of experience

Is this a good offer?
For Houston? Absolutely.
Thanks for your feedback. Wasn’t sure if it was about market or better.
Insanely good offer - honestly have not heard of anyone making that much at a Texas Development shop at the analyst level, especially straight out of UG - for context I’m at a large developer in Dallas making $85k + 20% bonus right out of school but I did a 5th year MSRE program
Thanks, talked to a recruiter yesterday and he said it was more than what he’s seeing for Acquisition Analyst jobs in NYC lol. Definitely seems like a good starting buyside gig, and they mentioned that there’s plenty of mobility to move to other front office teams (dev/acqusitions) later on considering I have a deal team background

General observation is that REPE roles that hire on cycle from IB pay significantly more than my peers who have jumped around different real estate shops. Would recommend trying to hop in on cycle if currently at a shop that pays less
How do you recruit on cycle?
Find out the timeline from friends in banking, try to connect with HHs to get on their radar for RE positions and then just prep like everyone
