Definitely a sales role with a Quota you’d be expected to hit; not the most common exit opp after consulting due to the heavy sales aspect. Do it if you thrive on sales but it will be less corporate and org focused as opposed to consulting.

It really depends, as the BD group is pretty vast and has a couple of different functions. If the role has a quota, it will generally say so in the JD. There are also BD roles that are focused on partnerships and strategy, depending on the group they roll up into. Do you have the JD or know what group it's related to?

My friend works as one. Seems pretty sales-y with not much strategy involved. As part of their job, they go to trade conferences to network and host potential “clients” for full days on site.
