Depends…do you want to follow the corp strategy career path after this job, or the corp dev career path? They are materially different.

Please explain

I like "Corporate Strategy and M&A." It sounds more complex and professional.

It’s longer. That’s for sure.

Split the difference - put the former on your LinkedIn and tell ppl you do the latter

That’s probably the way to go.

I have started a side hustle with two friends. It's Climate Tech related. We have been working with it for the past year as a part-time hustle. We want to take it to the next stage.

My two other friends have a background in consultancy and one of them had a mentor who is really high up at a Big4. He would like to join the start up as a Partner. He seems really experienced and could help raising money, although he does not seem to care about climate change.

What would be a good offer?
