Corp Development is very different from Product Management or Market Access Strategy

I think Corp Development would be the hardest to exit to from ZS, but not impossible. You can do this without an MBA but you might need some finance or M&A experience to be a credible candidate for Corp Development. The other roles are attainable from ZS

I felt like I was lowballed during my offer, and my negotiation salary was denied since this is technically my first “professional” job. Pt 2 in comments:
