I’ve always wondered how CRE work is at top firms—I do it at a lower ranked AMLAW firm and it’s pretty smooth going…guess I got my answer. Trade off is I don’t make market. Curious to see what others post on this!

Mine are pretty close to 2,000+. The senior I work with is on track for 3,000, as well as the partner. I do my best to hit target and nothing more….if I work 3,000 hours, I better be at a market firm.

If you’re a second year at a v10 you could lateral. There are some regional firms (like lower AMLAW firms) that heavily focus on RE and may provide more consistency. Often their rates are lower so you may not be making market.

This sounds like my firm. From what I can tell, the trade off for not making market but being in a solid RE group is that the group is comparatively highly valued (profit generating) compared to size and so I think path to partnership is a little smoother/group has decent influence with management. As opposed to working same hours and making market, but may not be well represented in firm leadership.

What do you mean by the inconsistency in hours? Can you provide more context?

The work is unpredictable - it could be the busiest thing or very slow but yet I’m expected to be on call 24/7

It really depends. Do you do dirt law, real estate finance or a combination of both?

A combination of both but I prefer the dirt work

To a large extent, it’s just the nature of the beast. As you mature through your career, you’ll be more comfortable relaxing during the down periods, but you’ll never get away from that feeling like you can’t relax and that there’s something you could or should be doing or might have to do at any moment.

I’ve been in-house doing real estate deals for a year and a half after 20 years doing real estate deals. In-house has actually been better in terms of not actually worrying during the down times, but the ebb and flow is still there.
