Who do you think would have a "better" shot at landing a job in the deals team (PE/VC)?
1. CorpDev Associate at a non F500
2. Valuation&Modeling Associate at a Big4

Both very difficult, but Big4 probably wins if the CorpDev person doesn’t have IB/consulting under their belt.

like

Don't you think CorpDev is a wider role viz a viz V&M which only provides exposure to one aspect of the deal life cycle?

I’m a big 4 V&M guy and I have had coworkers exit to both. I can’t speak to going from Corp dev to PE/VC but not sure you would want to if you can find your way to FAANG Corp dev ultimately. Lots of FAANG Corp dev people have IB/VC backgrounds.

Precisely the trade off. You can always go from PE/VC to those sorts of roles if you don’t make VP/Principal though, but not the other way around.
