Decent but not best exit - be super sure it’s true corp dev and not just corp dev for 1 or 2 deals a year then FP&A to fill the gaps

How does one figure that out?

It’s decent. Lots of ppl want to do corp dev. 10-15k isn’t a large cut. I’d say yes if that’s what you want to do. And if it doesn’t work out or it’s not as expected, you can always come back to FDD

I don’t work on corp dev. Didn’t say it was lucrative either. If it was lucrative, OP wouldn’t be considering a paycut

Any stock comp?

If you say ehh, as an IB associate, what’s a better exit opp?

I’ve been with PwC almost for a year now in the valuations group and I don’t see myself doing this long term. 90% I’m helping Audit Teams understand valuations and 10% I’m doing PPAs. I always wanted to go into more a consulting role (ops/strategy role). I also like modeling, but the current modeling I’m doing is more accounting focused rather than finding business value from synergy creation. Ideally I’d like to stick with PwC but I’d switch too. Thoughts where I should apply too?

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!
