Exit from banking/ investing VP level to a Corp Dev role- thoughts? Is this a good career path. I do really like M&A, but I’m worried about being in a ‘cost’ vs revenue generating role. Long term I would like to be more operational and ideally be in C-suite operating and financial positions.

If you are wanting to eventually move to C-suite level that is a good way to do it from paths that I see others take. You stay relatively close to what you are already doing, just in a more impactful way that is also more visible. Also get acquainted with different departments and leaders.

Thanks! I’ve heard though that M&A and strategy people are seen as less favorable for C-suite compared to those with ops background. So just looking to see if anyone has thoughts.

I applied to a job at KPMG and did the first two rounds of interviews, general interview, then case study and competency. Never before have I had such a positive feedback at the end of an interview of the 2nd, both said really like me, I did well etc.
It's now been 3 weeks since the interview and I still haven't heard back from the team other than the odd HR email saying they are following up with them. Is there something going on internally, I.e hiring freeze in the London office atm?
