Looking at a Corporate Development role in Dallas (VP - under Director at this company). Total comp is 225 with 160 Base and 40-50 target bonus. Very interested in the work and seems like good opportunities within the company. Any thoughts on Corp Dev roles (WLB, Pay) compared to consulting or internal strategy?

160+40-50 = 200-210. What am I missing?

I recently moved from consulting to a Corp Dev team. Money on entry can be good. WLB is certainly better. Internal progression and career opportunities (in my opinion and situation) were far more limited - so it really depends what you are a looking for.

Corp Dev means different things to different companies - but it generally has M&A and corporate strategy within. We originally rolled into the CFO - but now we sit under a newly hired SVP strategy & M&A.

I’ve heard can be busy if going through a deal. Is there also an M&A group, or is that a part of corporate development ?

Focus on base. Bonuses always seem to meet up with a “bad year” once the job actually starts.

Haha 100% true

I'm in finance/tech FPA, looking to go back to the defense industry for a 25% increase in TC. But wanted to see if I should leverage the new salary with current company to see if they'll match.

Background: got a promotion at current company that didn't come with sufficient increase . After stating my case I was told it would be evaluated next October, which is what prompted the initial job search.

Current TC 103K [88/15], offer 125k base [+discretionary bonus].

Money isn’t everything but in my late 20s it feels like the only thing important right now.

WLB is next to zero as 60hr weeks are the minimum as of late. Management feels like they are trying to push a few of us out. Was told not to expect much come year end for comp. Any suggestions on finding a new role/pay expectations?

I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
