Aquisition Analysts, how much do you earn in bonuses each year?
Came across a job opening for entry level Acquisition and Development Analyst, but the salary is a little low. There is a bonus potential, but I am wondering how much addition compensation that would be on average?

That is the grind. While I make a little closer to $100k, 60 hour weeks are pretty common with 80-100 hour weeks when deadlines are looming.\n\nI live in a LCOL area though, which makes the salary more than adequate. Have a house, bought a passive income property with a partner that is spinning off another $40k/yr gross, and have built up a pretty decent nest egg. I wouldn\u2019t have been able to do that if I couldn\u2019t model the shit out of CRE - so you take the good with the bad (long hours, personal health hits, not swing friends, not camping or mr biking, but I do have some good airline status and miles from all the work travel).\n\nHoping to make associate this year and get that big bump. Would make life much easier, or at least more bearable if my paychecks were 50% larger.", "replies": [], "depth": 3}], "depth": 2}], "depth": 1}]
