REPE Offer Review

Just received an offer at an REPE shop as an acquisition analyst, about 4b AUM west coast markets.

I have a prior internship in REPE and 2 years in development.

Salary is 65k + 15% bonus.

What do you think? Is this market or below? Please let me know your thoughts.

 

Depends what market the office is based out of. That seems very low to me... if I'm thinking LA/SD/San Jose, down right offensive for SF. IMO you should be looking at $70-80k min in those three CA markets, especially with 2 years of Dev exp. Or is the position based out of entirely different area?

Is their team heavily built out (lot of acquisition guys)? And did they give you any indication that this would be pay while you're learning acquisitions and will increase after 6mo-1yr?

 

It is based out of LA.

They have a team of analyst and need to expand.

They did not give any indication if increases in 6 months.

I countered 70k, but I think it's worth it just for the experience I will gain.

 

Yeah that's kind of what I was referring to. You, personally, are more experienced than a first year, entry-level analyst, but from the comp, I wonder if the role itself is simply a first year, entry-level analyst role.

Ignore all of the advice below if the REPE analyst position is your dream job / firm.

What is you current role at the development shop and what type of development group is it? Are you currently a deal focused analyst? If so and you are near being bumped up to associate, it may benefit you to hold off making a switch until you get promoted. You could then recruit for REPE associate roles.

 

Eventually I want to transition to top REPE firm, so I think this position is exactly what i need right now.

I am not close to getting promoted due to small size and lack of growth opportunity. I am deal focused, but this shop is to small for my long term goals.
