Great place to start, I'm at JLL in a major market on the West Coast wrapping up my second year in d/e. Base is around 60k and pulled around 115 my first year and should do around 180k this year. Hours are a lot as you would imagine, but checks all the boxes; exit opps, comp, when you transition to production you're pretty set, so on. Pay structure is 3% of every deal you're on and 1% of every transaction goes into a bonus pool for a total of 4%. Obviously most your check comes from the 3%.

 

If it is a good year and you're able to place yourself or be placed on plenty of deals you would do the same or exceed. Tough to tell for many factors, at the end of the day it's still brokerage and there isn't a guarantee on what you're going to make. I do know the NY office has some very strong players that crush it. I will say though, there are a couple of analysts that did much better than myself their first and second year on a comp standpoint.

It varies a lot, but I can break it up between high and low months. I would say the high average is in the mid-high 60's to low 70's. Low average is around 50-55. So overall average basing off the highs on the high and lows would be around 62. One thing is I don't work on the weekends and really try to save that time up and enjoy it. One thing that I'm not fond of and would imagine others that are in my shoes can relate is, how hard it is to find time to take a vacation, really have only taken a week vacation. Didn't come in thinking I was going to take much time off as an analyst, but reality kicks in and it makes you want too, I have taken a 3-day weekend a few time for quick trips.  

 

I actually am not sure on exact figures but i know its comparable. Pay structure is same, but you got to realize volume is very different. D/e, you are often juggling many deals at once, could be on 30 live deals at a time, and timing is also quicker. You can be on plenty of these by yourself where as the IS side you usually always have 2 analysts on a deal; one handling the package and the other doing the underwriting. The size of the fee is usually larger on the IS side but it gets split across both analysts. D/e we still have 2 analyst on large complicated deals.
