Typically means sales. I am working with a large oil and gas company that calls their corp dev team “business development” but this is the first time I’ve heard it used that way.

Yeah, I just saw a job posting which look like a description of Corp dev but it said business development so I was confused

funny

I've worked for a public company leading corp dev but my official title was BD. This was a rare instance. More often than not, BD has to do with either partnerships or sales not M&A

I have a question, I got a contract role through a recruiter. Initially the recruiter offered the hourly pay rate which was the minimum in my range. Now I got an offer from the company. Now without me asking her she increased the hourly wage to the maximum range I asked. Which makes me doubt if the company increased it or she knew the rate all along but gave me the lower rate ?

How is the FDD presence for BDO/GT/RSM FDD in the South/Southwest? How is the workload and compensation compared to the Big 4?
Have heard that the mid-tier you get more exposure to the entire deal process, is this true as well? Any insight is appreciated.
