Curious to know as well. Also, how did you land a corp dev role?
I haven’t. I am in a couple processes but nothing concrete. I’ve been connecting with people on LinkedIn to learn more and a few positions have opened up as a result.
I would get more experience in company valuation and being able to grow a business inorganically. I would also have a longer timeline on deals - everything I touch is always a fire drill or short timeline since the client is now in a post-loi position. I am also expected to learn everything about a co in maybe 4-6 weeks, and only have 1-2 times to actually talk to mgmt to understand their thinking.
I will say that the firm benefits are def better (lower family ins premiums, more PTO). Generally my PTO is respected at my firm but I don’t think that would be the case in CD bc the deal needs to close and the teams are super lean.
Just a few of my thoughts I’ve collected while searching but happy to take anybody else’s input.
