Can we report as "$100k base plus 10% bonus" for example. It's helpful to see the base and bonus breakout.

Title: Acquisitions Analyst

YOE: 2; 1st year with firm

Firm size: $25bn in total transactions

Salary: $100k base; bonus unknown

Carry: None; potential for co-invest in the next year or two

Hours: 25-50 - depends on the week, typically 35

Is this solid? How valuable is the co-investment option?

wtf are those hours, there are weeks that you only work 3 days?

seems very good for YOE and depending on bonus borders on ludicrous given the hours.

co-invest - depends on what that means, can you co-invest in the GP? then you're basically looking at 5x-10x the money you put in at realization assuming the fund/deal does fine.

I am not involved once the development process begins, so there have been a few weeks this summer where there has been little to do and I worked ~5 hours each day.

It would also be a co-investment into the GP fund itself.  What I am asking here is if my bonus is around 30% and my base increases ~10% each year, would the co-investment option be worth staying put?  Or if I am really trying to make some cash, should I look to jump to a more institutional developer / PE shop with higher bases/bonuses but no carry or co-invest.

You guys get a 5-10X multiple on the GP portion of your deals ?

YOE: First year with firm (started in June)

Depends on your situation. The pay cut was significant for me, but RE is a long game. Thankfully my spouse has done well at her corporate gig and makes over 2x what I do - can be a tough ego pill to swallow sometimes.

Hours are much, much better than IB , culture & coworkers at my firm much better than my last few gigs, and the work is more interesting to me than energy where I spent ~10 yrs. I see my wife & infant more and am a lot happier at work, so it has been worth it for me. That said, I'm debating looking for a place with higher base & bonus and less focus on promote.
