Does anyone have insight on what a business development role is like at a PE firm?

In the process of interviewing for this role and fear that BD folks may be treated as second class citizens in the org compared to the investment team.

If BD folks get treated as second class, then it's probably not the place you want to be anyway. Smart firms understand that it takes the whole team to guide the ship. Know your worth - if they don't recognize it, it will make it easier to move on if you need to.

There can definitely be that sort of attitude. I personally wouldn't care as long as I was compensated fairly for the role. But it does differ company to company
