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.

Outside of FAANG, what are good large CA-based tech companies that provide good pay, WLB, and culture? DD has great people and WLB, but pay is low and you’re not given the tools and resources to succeed + truly make an impact. Google and Apple are ideal but need backups. Like is Salesforce still good? A company along those lines.
