I worked in Corp dev for a 12B dollar FI that did financing in commercial lending, technology, and auto finance. It was a good job with plenty of compensation opportunity based on your role. But it just depends on what your role is, and your overall work desires.

Sacklers made a rookie mistake of not starting with a big4.

We’d do this by implementing SAP, Workday, and Salesforce using power point based accelerators to create a 360 degree view of the customer that empowers the frontline, increases loyalty and enhance employee collaboration. We’d still be in pilot assuming start date similar to McK.
