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.

Is anyone concerned the push for sexual equality in pay without accordant leveling of parental leave is gonna backfire?

Here’s a hypothetical:

A company has 2 candidates, aged 25-30, equal in every respect save one’s a man the other’s a woman. Maybe the woman is a slightly better candidate overall. They’d have equal comp.

Company considers the woman a riskier bet due to possibility she’ll take maternity leave — and considers the man less risky for his ineligibility to take as much leave. 🤷

I’ve had radio silence from a small investment bank for about a week now. I’ve completed several rounds of interviews, but last Thursday the firm reposted the job I’ve been interviewing for. On Friday the headhunter said that they’re not sourcing new candidates and it’s probably just LinkedIn automatically refreshing the listing. She said they had a busy week last week but will make a final decision this week - is the delay and radio silence a bad sign or is this typical for experienced hiring?
