Have an interview lined up at corp dev position. Currently in fdd earning 105k and corp dev will be around 95-100k. Wondering if its logical to take a small pay cut for corp dev? Is corp dev considered more prestigious and opens more doors esp to PE? Also does it have a better wlb?

Just consider this. Corp dev = buy side for one company, 1 strategy. FDD = advisory and new clients every 3months-year. If your corp dev spams transactions every quarter then great, PE in that space would probably love to have you. If not, you’re basically setting yourself up for maybe an ops role?

Making any decision over $5k is not smart

It depends what kind of corp dev team is it. If it's pe backed, avoid it. If it's publicly traded, might be worth the jump.

Why do you say that? Is it only PE backed company culture isnt usually great or is there any other reason?

In talks with A&M to come over to their TAG practice from EY FDD as senior associate. Base salary is very competitive on top of the alluring "bonus" structure. 2 questions:

1. Do they normally offer sign on bonuses?
2. Is their any disadvantage between A&M FDD compared to B4 FDD in terms of exit ops down the road? Trying to look 5 years down the line

Would appreciate any insight!

very Selective jobs( MF PE and BB IBs) kinda blow these numbers out of the water... but for the more attainable exits like MM IB and and corporate development... considering wlb and pay, is the grass much greener?
