Looking for some advice on Corp dev as I try to make next move.

Currently at 125 base plus 20-25 bonus. Working directly under VP with good visibility to CFO and CEO for a PE portco. Maybe in office 2x per week at most and 20-25 min drive with good hours

Offer for 140k base plus 15% bonus (~20k) and much better 401k match worth about $8k. Would report under a director and have similar responsibilities now, but in office 3-4x per week with 45 min commute 1 way.

Is this worth it at all?

Cont: gut says no because of the commute and it being like a 15% raise. I’m trying to increase comp and get ahead but not finding anything much better than those offers.

MCOL for reference.

Could you share a little about your path and YOE? Trying to break into Corp Dev after a layoff from M&A Consulting and been a challenge

Hey i work in CD too and I can provide my thoughts. If I were in your shoes I probably wouldn’t make the jump. It seems like you’re evaluating the opportunity purely from a comp perspective, and a 15% raise would not be nearly enough for me to move from what seems to be an ideal situation (2x in office, easy commute and great hours) to a less ideal situation.

IMO, you should be less concerned with comp (but fully recognize it is important) and more concerned about the actual experience you’re getting at both places. If you’re getting significantly better experience at one or the other that also needs to be factored into your decision.

Happy to talk more if you’d like to DM me but these are my initial thoughts while having minimal info on both roles.

Thank you for the response. I def agree with your points and had a similar line of thinking.
