If your long term plan is VP of corp dev I would stay longer at B4 to get more reps/learning then join a bigger organization in Corp Dev and move around from there. If you want to move into more finance/ops sooner then I think I would make the move to start up.

There is very little overlap between FDD and corp dev. If you want to do corp dev then you shouldn’t be doing fdd

All I’m saying is that a lot of my friends in start-ups got made redundant recently. Even from unicorn status ones.. choose the time to move wisely

No worries! Basically let go, but not because of their performance, but because of how the business has been performing. Wouldn’t say fired, but same end result
