What types of models do you typically make in corp dev roles? I’ve only really done market sizing work. Will this be an issue?

Lmaooo. Yeah LBOs are for PE interviews

like

Valuation, tax equity, LBO

This answer makes no sense. Why would you build an LBo when you have no intended exit? I would say DCF, comps, and precedent transaction models. I’ve had numerous interviews for Corp dev. Happy to provide more context if needed

Also OP, yes this will be an issue. You need to know how to build the models (all three I mentioned in my previous comment) or you won’t make it past the first round. Source: I can build all three from scratch and have IBD experience but since it was only internships I never made it past the first round because my consulting work was not deemed applicable enough. Corp dev interviews are challenging and you will be competing against IB candidates from top firms. They will have been building these models for the past two years, even if they are interviewing for a senior analyst position.

Are there any pros to staying at a company and getting laid off, vs. proactively looking for a new job and quitting before it happens? I.e., financial (possibility of receiving severance or any other benefits). Or is being laid off just all bad? I don’t know if my job is at risk — I don’t believe it is — but my agency lost some clients and is talking about cost cutting to be safe and get ahead of it. Fwiw, I’m ready for a change anyway.

Anyone else sick of equity partners constantly telling their practice groups that the market is cooling off and everyone should step it up?

How much stock do you put on benefits? I have two offers with stark differences in benefits. Job 1: role I want, but benefit sucks (2 weeks paternity leave, 20% coinsurance). Job 2: role is okay but higher level and great benefits (16 weeks paternity, 0% coinsurance, 5 more days of vacation). Total comp is the same though. I wonder if I should just focus on role but Job 2 is a large company, so I can move around after 2-3 years I’d expect. Thoughts?

After 3 years of dealing with the worst firm I've ever had the displeasure of working for, I finally landed my dream gig at a small specialty firm. The people at the new firm are all SMEs featured in and contributors to the most notable business publications in the world, less than 100 employees, better benefits, unlimimted PTO, doubled my pay and landed a senior role.

Keep looking for what you want and deserve. I'm happy to be forging a better path away from what I've had to endure.

Ugh, just got rejected from a senior level big tech opportunity. 4 month hiring process, multiple rescheduled interview days and no-shows, 10+ interviews in the end, multiple take home assessments, and took 2 days off work for the final round of interviews.
