Anyone moved from IB to Corp dev at a tech company (Uber, Microsoft, Google etc) ? Wanna get a feel for hours and tc? All the articles and posts I see about Corp dev are dated

My company is a bit smaller than those that you listed.

Hours are in the ~60-65 range. Since we’re pre IPO I wear many hats (fundraising, M&A, strategic alliances, IR etc).

TC, I’m on the low end of ~120 base and large equity amount

How many YOE Do you have?

Smaller company in the single digit thousands headcount range. Our group is split up by subfunction (M&A, VC). Hours are ~45-60 hours. I came in with a year or so of experience from banking and make ~$100k base + negligible equity and bonus. I personally don’t think corp dev is worth it compared to other “lifestyle” exits unless you really like deal work and are passionate about what the company does.

So I've heard from a bunch of people that working as a Product Designer at a FAANG company isn't as glamourous as people make it out to be.

Is there any truth to this? Or is it just bitter people who didn't get hired?

I've heard the work life balance is tough, and that people usually leave after less than 1.5 years because the churn is crazy.

Is it worth going for FAANG companies or nah?

McKinsey & Company I’m in between having accepted my offer and starting. I’ve read advice recommending getting your WFH set up ready before starting, and want to take that. I assume the answer is “no”, but could I spend my $150 one-time WFH allowance now and submit expense receipts after starting? Any chance they’d pay back spending prior to start date that was within a certain window (my last company allowed this for moving-related expenses, as an example) of the start? McKinsey & Company
