Hey Guys,
I'm a second year analyst in Asset Management. I wanted to share a page designated only for people who are currently in or were in Asset Management at some point to share their compensation history for the sake of learning more about what market pay is in various markets as well as how your compensation has changed over the years in this role.
I feel like many comp trackers vary way too much in roles, so I wanted to really narrow it down only to asset management personnel.
This would really benefit us when negotiating future bumps in pay in the future. For starters here is where I'm at.
Current Position: Analyst
Firm Type: Private Equity (other choices --> REIT, Family Office, etc.)
Market: National
Office Location: West Coast
Fund Size: $10B+ AUM
Typical Hours per week: 40 - 50 hrs
Comp:
Year 1 Analyst:
- Salary: $65k
- Bonus: 5% - 10%
Year 2 Analyst:
- Salary $75k
- Bonus: 10% - 20%
Lastly, anyone know what asset management personnel make at the VP, Director, or other top seniority level?

I recently transitioned into REPE from development at a GP. Focusing mainly on AM of distressed/value-add assets with some acquisitions work here and there. Had to be brought on as an "experienced" analyst but have had strong performance so expecting a bump to Associate 1 any day now.

Very nice considering the hours and assuming your Midwest location provides reasonable COL. How many years of experience do you have and how long have you been at the VP level?

We already have an [expansive](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ZG2FIjkUJKxJDgqcc-56E4uLADlr3qe…) Google Doc stemming from [this thread](https://www.wallstreetoasis.com/forums/real-estate-compensation-google-…) as well as a [500+ post thread](https://www.wallstreetoasis.com/forums/what-is-your-compensation-in-rea…) - all discussing real estate comp.
We just want Asset Management only, the comp from other roles aren't what this thread should lead readers to.
Hopefully this ends up being a one stop shop for Asset Management people.
You can sort by role in the google doc.

What was your comp progression like? And did you start at the same firm or worked elsewhere prior?
3 years in advisory + 2 in REPE AM. The comp jump to REPE was pretty significant relative to what i was making in advisory. In all honesty, its a pretty 'cushy' gig for the time being but I'm sure the deal guys my level are crushing it.
How did you make the jump to RE? I'm at a B4 now thinking about going into RE.
